We use FreeFileSync to get application data of the windows server on a network drive. We use the gui to setup FreeFileSync and write the ffs_batch file, we created a cron (task) on the windows machine that runs each day a wrapper script that runs FreeFileSync (with the ffs_batch file). The wrapper is needed to stop services first (like RDBM's and others) before we start FreeFIleSync (else we got corrupted databases in the backup).

For the batch mode everything is working fine. The point is, when you start the GUI and forget to stop the services (we need to stop 8 of them). FreeFileSync will stop successfully but my backup is corrupted.

Would be nice if FreeFileSync is aware of those dependencies, or better: capable of stopping/starting them (optional: with a popup warning).

It's a small low prio issue, but sometimes very annoying....
