Much appreciated thanks!!

This is great. It would work well from the GUI. Is there an equivalent from task scheduler? Can we put multiple ffs_batch files on the command line to run them sequentially?

Hello,

I have a few batches created, based on geographical location. This is convenient when running them manually, but I'm now at the stage where I need to run all of them sequentially. Because I don't know how long it takes each one to run (it varies greatly from day to day), is there a way I can ...

Just thought I would report back.. I tried a different software, and I'm having the same issue (It transferred about 1GB in 36 hours). So I would say it's definitely a network issue. Sorry for the false alarm, and thanks again for the very prompt response.

In addition to the above, while getting that computer ready for the weekend project, I see in task manager that "FFS Folder Comparison" was still running. My assumption on that is that the "End task" in the task scheduler does NOT successfully terminate FFS.

That was actually from the same device. In the first sample, the NAS was mapped as a network drive.

Secondly, that particular folder does not exist (yet) in that path. It does exist in the source. So I'm really confused as to why it is waiting for a folder that does not exist.

Do you have any ...

thanks Zenju. I am trying this now.

While it is scanning....

Here is some additional information I forgot to mention originally, I am not sure if it would have any impact.

- The source and destination folders are geographically at different locations, connected to each other over VPN.
- The ...

ok, more information. It is more complicated than I thought... Looks like I can only go to a certain number of folders deep. The destination for the backup is a network storage, which I have tried as a mapped drive letter, and as UNC.

\\NAS\City\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\Folder5\Folder6 ...

In addition to the above, I am now finding a situation where FFS is totally stuck. I can hit the cancel button, and it will say "stop requested"... but then it's frozen. Here's what happened.

I ran a compare today to find out which files, were not backed up over night as I had a different file ...

Hello,

I use FFS to backup a lot of data overnight. So this issue doesn't really affect me much, other than making the whole task longer than it should be. Today, I manually hit the compare button as I added another folder pair and wanted to see the impact it would have on the entire backup.

What ...
