how do run FileSync during windows shutdown ?

[digi100]

Hi

I am new here. Is the an way to run FileSync evertime I do shutdown my windows pc (user clicks on shutdown button)?

I already tried it with gpedit.msc and the registry entry "shutdown", but I did not get to work it. Any suggestions?

regards

You can use the FFS exe in command line with your saved config passed as a parameter

Sorry for reviving this old post but, for the life of me, I just can't figure out how to use the Startup/Shutdown Scripts to make it work. I just added the FFS executable to the script name section and under parameters I added the location of the .ffs_batch file but it does not work.

You might find it easier to simply write a batch script that runs the FFS sync and then runs the shutdown command after that finishes. Name it whatever, but it would contain two lines:
"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\Path\To\Your\FFS\Config\File"
and
shutdown -s -t 0

Name it "Sync and Shutdown" or something else appropriate. Place it on the desktop or somewhere you can easily run it from

That wouldn't work for me. I need an automated backup task that runs before the computer shuts down.

Did you try using the Windows Task Scheduler?
There you can choose to run tasks based on a given time, but also upon given events, such as startup, login, logoff and shutdown.
