Hi
i have 3 folders 'books', 'modules' and 'themes' on my PC. I have synced them
with FreeFileSync on USB. I have also created batch job for each one as
'books.ffs_batch', 'modules.ffs_batch' and 'themes.ffs_batch'.
now when i run RealTimeSync it allows me to load only one configuration. how
can i monitor all of the above folders with batch files.
should i add all pair of folder in RealTimeSync dialog?
sync multiple pair of folders with RealTimeSync

One solution is to use multiple instances of RealtimeSync, one for each FFS
batch job. The other is to merge all batch jobs into a single job (e.g. drop
multiple batch jobs on FFS main dialog) and use a single RealtimeSync
instance.

Thanks for reply. multiple instance solution is better for me.
Actually I didn't tried running multiple instances of RealtimeSync before.
FreeFileSync is best sync solution for my needs now.

I am new to freefilesync. I do not understand the meaning of "multiple
instances". This is what I am trying to accomplish :
1. sync (copy) one drive to another (e.g. L:\ > M:\)
2. sync (copy) one folder to a folder on a different drive (e.g. e:\xfiles > g:\xfiles)
3. sync (copy) one folder to a folder on 2 different drives (e.g. c:\xdocs > e:\xdocs and >g:\xdocs)
I would like these to work in real time, ideally as a service.
I operate win XP86 sp3
any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Starting RTS more than once.

Seems you need three instances of RTS, one for each sync job, the last one
will trigger a FFS synchronization using two folder pairs.
