Hope you can help, I'm not overly computer-savvy.
I have set, in FFS, a bunch of folders to back up to two other drives, using mirror and update variously. I saved the whole thing as a batch and it works as it should.
I then got RTS to run this batch. The first time it ran I watched all my backups happening and was happy.
Now, I'm making changes to one of the watched folders (creating many new folders within it), and RTS is causing me grief. Before I can even rename each folder, RTS kicks off, does it's thing and pops up a dialog interrupting me. Only by physically closing that dialog am I able to continue working, only to have it happen again seconds later. RTS will not continue either unless the dialog is closed.
I want RTS to run in the background every few minutes or so and basically be invisible and it needs to start on startup.
I've searched this here and RTFM, but all discussions are a bit too technical for me, command lines etc. In the help files I read the command line usage part which seems to describe what I need to do but it assumes a level of knowledge/experience that I lack! Also, I can't find anywhere in RTS where I can either delete the command I have running, or change the settings for it.
If anyone could spare some time to give layman's-terms instructions on how to set this up I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance, Paul.

Probably a noob RealTimeSync question

Found this:
"ok, i found that you have to select "Run Minimized" and select "On Completion: Close Progress Dialog" during the save of the batch file. I was looking for the option in the RealTimeSync app, not at the batch file creation stage."
So.. if I save the batch again and make sure I select those, I can load that into RTS?
Do I need to somehow clear the batch that is already in RTS?

I created a new batch and deleted the old one. RTS is still looking for the old one.

Ok, the new batch seems to be working as planned in RTS (solved my own problem) but I have the problem that it's trying to run the old batch file as well.
How do I delete that?
Thanks, Paul.
