Hi, I would find it very useful if I could embed one FFS job inside another.

What I would like to do is have a number of FFS jobs to copy over discrete folders such as
1. Documents, App Data, Program Data.
2. Pictures.
3. Videos, Music.
4. Slideshows.

What I would then like to do is have a job called, say, "Copy Media" which would include 2, 3 and 4 above. Then another job which would include all four called "Copy Everything".

Many thanks.

You can simply make batch/command or shell scripts to sequentially call said FFS jobs.
See e.g. here.

@Plerry, Thanks for that suggestion. I'll give it a try.
@markusoft, I didn't know I could do that. Thanks for the advice.
