Sync-ing multiple folders with Reat Time Sync

[pdikov78]

Hi there, I am new to this program so apologies if these questions sound stupid. Had a look at the forum but couldn’t find answer to my question.

As a start i have a number (8) of different batch jobs syncing my files between my system HDD and external NAS servers, portable USB drives, Google Drive etc. I want to use RTS to monitor all those different folders and sync them when there is a file change. I had a look at the video tutorial but this shows only one batch file. Do i have to create 8 separate RTS files to run simultaneously in my task bar or there is more elegant solution with one RTS which monitors all the folders.

Thank you very much for your help

It is by far the best to create separate RTS tasks for your FFS batch jobs; one RTS task per FFS job.
This minimizes the folder scope that each RTS task needs to monitor, and hence minimizes the risk that your sync task(s) get postponed indefinitely due to the RTS Idle-time.
But you should preferably make sure there is no overlap between the folders (incl. subfolders) being monitored by the different RTS instances.

Thank you very much Plerry. I am on it :-)

Or, if you know there won't be any issues with idle time being too short or overlap, you can make batch configs with multiple folder pairs. I have a RTS setup that monitors a source tools folder that then runs a sync that mirrors that source to eight destinations
