Re: run multiple tasks sequentially

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?

run multiple tasks 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 ...

Re: Very long delay on empty folders

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.

Re: Very long delay on empty folders

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.

Re: Very long delay on empty folders

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 sugges...

Re: Very long delay on empty folders

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 source i...

Re: Very long delay on empty folders

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 When I...

Re: Very long delay on empty folders

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 ...

Very long delay on empty folders

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 I'...
