Before you reset the "Read Only" attribute of all your PDF files,
just reset one of them on your NAS and then see what happens.
If that works you can then use the attrib cmd to change all your PDF
files at once.
Not sure about the "sub-protection about this file MAY BE from a
blocked web-site".
I haven't checked, but I'll bet that google is your friend.
You're on your own. on this one.

Mike,
While waiting for my query to gell to the List, I did go back and
dig up all the dot-pdf files on my Office PC. Sadly, there were a lot.... :(
OK. YES! all of the trouble files were coded "Read-Only." This
attribute I have reset locally. I have NOT YET gone to my NAS and
start resetting this attribute....... maybe later tonight...... :)
A silly tangential question. I also see that many of my dot-pdf
files also NOW show some new business; a sub-protection about this
file MAY BE from a blocked web-site. Nice that I am given a button
to UNBLOCK the file. Is it proper to UnBlock my pdf files?
TNX. You win. I am resetting the "Read-Only" status of my pdf files.
Best,
Duncan

I think your problem might be related to the "Read Only" attribute.
Disclaimer: I haven't used SyncToy yet so this is only a SWAG.
When SyncToy goes to back up your file to the NAS it attempts to delete
the existing file and then rewrite it.
Since the original is "Read Only" the copies on the NAS might also be
marked Read Only.
If that's the case, then when you go to resync it will fail since the
existing copy on the NAS will not be deleted.
Also, as a test to see if the "Read Only" attribute might be the cause
of the problem, manually reset the file attribute on the NAS and then
try to resync.
If successful then the "Read Only" attribute is the cause.
Check if SyncToy has an option to allow rewrites of "Read Only" files or
an option to not carry over the original file attributes when syncing to
the NAS.

Lately, I am seeing errors using Sync-Toy when backing up my office
machine to my NAS. The file do not seem to transfer.
It seems to stumble on PDF files.
I usually get:
Error: Cannot write to the destination file. Access is denied.
(Exception from HRESULT:0x80070005 (E_ACESSDENIED))
Yes, I can suppose that these may be some glitch on my NAS, but this
only happens via use of SyncToy v2.1
or,
Could this be somehow related to these files being coded "Read-Only?"
