Rookie question on RealTimeSync

[user0815]

Sorry for this rookie question, but I am not sure if I understand how RTS is working.

Is this correct? With RTS you can specify folders that should be monitored by RTS and if any changes are detected you can specify ONE command that will be executed?

So this means it isn't possible to monitor a folder and get it synced to two different mirror foldes (e.g. on two different drives)?

Create a batch ffs job that syncs it to two different destinations and have RTS call that batch job

Okay... I wasn't aware that it's possible to sync to multiple destinations with one ffs batch job. I have to figure this out.

So my assumption is true: with RTS you can monitor multiple folders, but you only can have one batch job executed when one of the folders has changes. It's not possibel to have multiple instances of RTS to automate different tasks with different batch jobs.

No, it is possible to have multiple RTS instances running. I have four running simultaneously. There is just no reason to have two RTS sessions monitoring the same locations just to mirror one source drive to two destinations. You should just set up a batch job that has two pairs of locations, both sources will be the same of course, and the destinations will be the two backup locations.
See my attached picture. I have one folder that I am syncing to many locations. RTS is monitoring the source folder so that any changes I make will get mirrored to every one of those destinations.

Thanks a lot. I‘ve tried the sync to different targets - it works. :)

Awesome!
