> I thought that i had to create a batch run of config made for F and both external HDD on FFS, save it, and then open it on RTS. You define your sync settings in FFS. There you define your two left-right pairs 1) F:\Musica => [Elements]\Musica 2) F:\Musica => [My Book]\Musica Assuming that in your...

> While 1 reflects any changes made on F, the other does that to but sends the original files to Windows recycle bin as a safety feature in case i do something wrong (ex: delete by mistake) As I understand your above description, that would still not require to have RTS monitor the "other"...

> ... but if i remove the destination directories (both external HDDs), what will be the point? Remove them from the RTS configuration , obviously nor from your FFS configuration. As all your changes that need to be synced occur on F:, RTS only needs to monitor F:\MUSICA for changes, not your backu...

I may not understanding exactly what you are suggesting but if i remove the destination directories (both external HDDs), what will be the point? That way it won't sync with them any change i make to the music folder on the laptop.

The task is simple: I create/change something (only) on "F:\MÚSICA" and it syncs with a folder with the same name on both HDD's. That way i have always backups of my music in order to play safe (we never know...). I used to do this manually but was a bit of pain in the a..., and sometimes ...

That RTS config looks fine. The 10 second delay would mitigate the issue where there is a file changing every time you sync, triggering another sync. For your sync config in FFS, what is your "On completion" setting set to? hidden and auto-close That is not an option for the "Run a c...

What directories is RTS set to monitor and what is the idle time set to? xCSxXenon, 22 Aug 2022, 16:29

Hi,
It's one folder on my pc, and 1 on each external HDD (2) and with an idle time of 10sec

Thanks

What your image seems to show, is the results of a Comparison, of which the conclusion seems to be that there are no differences that need to be synced. Consequently, the FFS GUI just sits there doing nothing (contrary to: stays constantly "working"). It seems you purposely opened the *.f...

What happens sometimes is that i change something in the directory monitored by FFS and then it stays constantly "working" like if changes were still being made. I made a screen capture for showing you what is happening: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Oz6npvbTH3N2ZJA0WbytPFIGLD8m0MwG/vie...

Hi, I have two external HDDs connect to a USB powered hub and then to my laptop and use RealTimeSync for sync to both HDD when there's a change to a specific folder (with sub-folders). With 1 hdd, every change makes the old file to go to the Windows recycle bin, and with the other the file is perman...

Thanks for your precious help!

First of all, thanks for helping me.

Just one more question:
Do you think that for what i want is better to choose "Replace" or "Time Stamp (folder)"? And if it's the 2nd, option, do you advise a minimum of file versions?

Hi, Let's see if i can explain well what i'm looking for. I'm looking how to create a batch job that reflects all the changes made on the pc, on my external hdd, but excluding deletions. Sync/mirror is good but i already have it with my NAS. The intended use is to have a true backup on the external ...
