RealtimeSync user profile

I have a FreeFileSync batch job to synchronise a user profile between 2 PCs.

In the batch job I have created "includes" to just synchronise Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos.

I'm thinking RealtimeSync which is watching C:\Users\ABC and \\Server\ABC will also be wasting time triggering on changes to AppData, Downloads, Favourites, NTUSER.DAT, etc.

Should I go to the trouble of making RealtimeSync only watch:
C:\Users\ABC\Documents
C:\Users\ABC\Music
C:\Users\ABC\Pictures
C:\Users\ABC\Videos
\\Server\ABC\Documents
\\Server\ABC\Music
\\Server\ABC\Pictures
\\Server\ABC\Videos

Many thanks.

That should have been the UNC double-backslash preceding the computer name "Server"!

Plerry

Using RealtimeSync for synchronizing a profile seems a bit overdone
(unless you are working on two machines simultaneously).
Why not run your FFS-batch file at exit (and possibly additionally at fixed times)
via the Task Scheduler.

I'd still like to do it. Don't want the start up/shut down delay. Anyway I have another similar folder structure.

So I'd really like to understand how I should configure RealtimeSync in this scenario please.
