Hello,
I'm using FreeFileSync and RealtimeSync for an automatic backup task. I would like to set up RealtimeSync to run a synchronization once a day using the Windows Task Scheduler.
Is there a way to configure RealtimeSync to automatically exit after the synchronization process is complete? I don't want it to keep running in the background until the next scheduled run.
Thank you for your help.

You would use Task Scheduler to start a FFS config, not RTS

Thank you, that makes perfect sense.
I was trying to use RealtimeSync for a scheduled task, which is not what it's designed for. I will change the Task Scheduler to run the FreeFileSync batch file directly.
I appreciate your help!
