Re: [bug?] Disk corruption and system crash when mirroring

I ran GSmartControl Extended Self-Test and after 9 hours it found no errors. However, the Error Log shows a few "Error: ABRT 8 sectors at LBA = (Address values)" errors so perhaps the drive is failing.

Is there any way for FFS to detect and prevent the system crashes? This would help make FFS more ...

Re: Batch job does not wake computer from sleep

The batch job task is set to wake up the computer. So it appears the problem is with the Task Scheduler.

Do you have any recommendations on diagnosing the Task Scheduler?

Thanks, Gary

Re: Feature request: Add link to current log file

Thanks, I didn't know that column had links to the logs. I thought it simply showed the sync status.

Thanks, Gary

Re: Feature request: Add link to current log file

When FFS v14.2 is opened following a batch job, the menu selection Actions -> Show log shows only an empty log.

Requesting to add a link to the latest log file. This avoids having to drill down into C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync\Logs to see the log.

Thanks,

Gary

Batch job does not wake computer from sleep

As the title states. This happens with FFS v14.2 on a Dell Precision notebook PC running Windows 11 Pro v24H2.

When the PC is manually wakened, FFS runs the batch job.

Re: Easy pause/resume control for Windows batch jobs?

I'm using Windows Task Scheduler to launch FFS batch jobs. I'm a new user and I wanted to know if there is a way in FFS that I missed for pausing/reenabling multiple tasks.

Thanks for the suggestion to use a batch script.

Easy pause/resume control for Windows batch jobs?

Is there any way to pause and resume multiple Windows batch synchronization tasks without going to the Task Scheduler and disabling/reenabling each task one by one?

Thanks,

Gary
