[QUOTE="vmvmvm, post: 1903904, member: 397885"] Hi Rod, thank you for reply. yes, there is time machine on the drive, but the data i need is in a separate folder on the same volume. The problem occurred when I was mirroring that additional folder to a second HDD, using FeeFileSync. When I came back it gave an error on one file, which stopped the whole mirroring progress and the system felt crashed, so (if I remember correctly) I tried to force quit and restart. The mirroring process was canceled in the middle and wasn't complete. The machine I was doing the mirroring was M1 Mini with Catalina. The problematic HD has Macos Extended Journaled with both Time Machine and additional data on one volume. (Catalina let me use it without formatting into APFS, as there was an older time machine backup of other computer) Thanks again, V [/QUOTE]
