Hi,<br />
<br />
I stopped a syncing program (FreeFileSync) in the middle of a job. I think it put some kind of a &quot;lock&quot; status on files and folders during the procedure, and now I can't modify, rename, etc. anything on these folders.<br />
<br />
How can I take this &quot;lock&quot; off?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Backup / sync program - locked files

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
