Hello, I set the sync at shutdown.
But if dimension of the file to sync are more gb, I have noticed that the
computer turns off before finish the synchronization.
It 's normal?
I have Win 7 Enterprise and FreeFileSync 5

In case you're using "taskschd.msc" to schedule the sync, have a look at task
properties, tab "settings", "Stop the task if it runs longer than". This
should be set to some high value or unchecked.

Did you try to setup taskschd.msc as described in the helpfile "schedula a
batch job"? There's no reason why this should not work.

There are plenty of triggers available, something like "on logout" or "should
do. Also make sure to test the task manually in taskschd.msc (right-click
task, select "run")

ok, manually work fine, but if i set "on logout" don't start the task, instead
if i set the task under "gpedit.msc" the task start at the log out, but if the
sync are of more gb, after some time the pc shutdown.
