Like therube mentioned, the list he(?) shares is with the default setting (Error | Warning | Success), but he also mentions that you can change the setting to only show Errors and Warnings or just Errors.

Re: Trying to set up a realtime batch job - hangs after it gets to errors

As instructed per the FFS manual page on scheduling batch jobs, you should not just checkmark Ignore Errors, but also Auto-close, when saving your *.ffs_batch job.

Re: running separate syncs ON 2 DIFFERNT ext hdS

The best thing to do, is to create your FFS Scheduled Task to be run under dedicated user credentials. See here .

Re: Preventing just the "The following folders do not yet exist" warning error

When you get the referred to warning in the FreeFileSync (FFS) GUI, you have the option to checkmark not to get that warning any more in the future. That should resolve your issue.

Re: Can I simultaneously Sync a folder to multiple SFTP server destinations?

If your source is e.g. C, and your SFTP destination locations are respectively SFTP_D, SFTP_E and SFTP_F, you can simply define multiple left-right pairs as C => SFTP_D C => SFTP_E C => SFTP_F in a Mirror sync variant. You will get a warning that there is a full or partial overlap between your sync ...

Re: Deleting sync settings

FFS nor RTS never "starts by itself", unless it is placed in the users Autostart folder (assuming Windows), or started as a Scheduled Task. Deleting the *.ffs_batch -file does not change anything, other than that FFS or RTS is not able to find the *.ffs_batch -file and throws an error. Sim...

@murda

I did.
But your later reaction regarding the tape library clarified your initial question.
You are really talking about order at file level.
And I am sorry to say that it seems FFS does not have that capability.

Re: RealTimeSync not starting

The prime benefit of using the Task Scheduler over the Autostart folder, is that it allows you to run tasks under different, specified user credentials. This is almost a must if you really care about safety....
