Hello guys,
I'm having problems with the automatic execution of a sync job.
What I did was the following:

1. In FreeFileSync I added two folders for syncing.
2. I created a batch job of it
3. I imported the batch job in the RealTimeSync.exe and configured the command line and destination folder as follows:

folder: [BACKUP_SHO_2TB]\Downloads
Command line: "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "[BACKUP_SHO_2TB]\Sync.ffs_batch"

I saved the configuration and a .ffs_real file has been created

4. I put the batch job (ffs_batch) to the root folder of the USB.

5. Nothing happens...

What do I have to do more to auto execute the job?

Hi,
I answered my own question. It was not clear I had to run the .ffs_real file first. I can do this manually or by adding it at Startup folder. Now when I plug in, the sync starts automatically.
Thanks for the link.
