Hello,
is it possible to start a batch file before starting the synchronization? E.g. to start a batch that wakes up the server? And how can I do this?

Thanks a lot

You would need to do the opposite.
You create a batch file that e.g. first starts/wakes up the server, and then have that same batch file invoke FreeFileSync to run a specified *.ffs_gui or *.ffs_batch sync you saved before.
For the command to use in your batch file, see here
