Dealing with Errors

When an error arises in the course of synchronization, the following error sheet will appear.

At this stage, you can abort the entire process by clicking "Abort". This gives you a chance to immediately resolve the problem and then re-invoke the synchronization.

Instead of aborting, you can choose to ignore the error and continue synchronizing. Do this by clicking "Continue". The error will get posted to the log for later review. If a string of errors arise and you just want to finish synchronizing what you can, enable the "Skip any additional errors" check box. This will still post errors to the log, but wont annoy you with additional error sheets.

Sometimes an error will repeatedly occur that simply cannot be corrected. For example, a file name may be too long to be synchronized with a target whose file system doesn't support long file names. In this case, you may quickly and easily exclude the offending file from future synchronizations by clicking the "Exclude" button in the error sheet. This can be very important for ensuring the last modification date gets correctly updated (see next section). You can undo an exclude in the Analyze Tab Panel using the "Include" command.
