Hello,

I have a few batches created, based on geographical location. This is convenient when running them manually, but I'm now at the stage where I need to run all of them sequentially. Because I don't know how long it takes each one to run (it varies greatly from day to day), is there a way I can run them sequentially? I was thinking of maybe creating a batch file where I could do:

"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\ffs\location1.ffs_batch"
"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\ffs\location2.ffs_batch"
"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\ffs\location3.ffs_batch"
etc..
But is there a more efficient way to achieve the same results?

thank you

If these tasks are not interdependent, you can run these task all at the same time.
See here.

This is great. It would work well from the GUI. Is there an equivalent from task scheduler? Can we put multiple ffs_batch files on the command line to run them sequentially?

If you read the Manual page on the Command Line you can see you can open any number of config-files.
