I made a cmd script years ago (2013) so I could schedule backups in Windows Task Scheduler... worked fine all this time up until upgrading to the latest version a few days ago. Mind you the last time I upgraded was within the last few months and it worked.
Without pasting my whole file this is the main call which no longer seems to work :
echo ##### External Drive E: is plugged in. Begin syncing files... echo =============================================================================== cd "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\" FreeFileSync.exe "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\DailyBackup.ffs_batch"
Was something changed in FFS recently which would cause the script to no longer function?
I'm not seeing any error at all. I'm now wondering if something was changed internally with Windows during an update or something because it seems like FFS isn't even being started with the cmd script.
I did double check the task scheduler entry and changed it to Windows 10 (I had upgraded from 7 -> 10 awhile back), but it was working beforehand without that change.
I'm really lost with this one. I assumed it was due to upgrading FFS the other day, but perhaps it was a coincidence? Just seems really odd that my script/task scheduler worked fine untouched for years and right after I upgrade FFS it stops.
Well, after looking at everything I could think of and nothing working I just tried the old 'reboot the computer'. It worked after reboot haha. Guess Windows screwed up as usual.
