Hello
I struggle with automatic real-time sync.
The "drag and drop" does not create the ffs.batch nor the Command line as advertised -at least for me-.

My configuration is simple that I want to synchronize in real time
C/folder A mirror with D/folder X

Can someone tell me the solution?

You first have to create a valid *.ffs_batch-file yourself
(e.g. via the FFS GUI and then save it as a *.ffs_batch-file),
and then "drag and drop" that *.ffs_batch-file into the RTS GUI window.

Hello
Eureka!
I searched a bit because the help menu is outdated "Menu/File/Open" but it's "Files/Save as batch file..." which just "drag and drop in RTS at the bottom.
It's really great and a thousand thanks for this help.

Small question : can we have real-time synchronization with 2 different backup destinations
C/original folder 1 MIRROR D/folder X
C/original folder 2 MIRROR K/folder Y....i.e. on a different medium

To read you and thank you again for help

Following...

After various tests, I discover that we can have several batchRun ... batchRun 1... batchRun 2 etc.

So my question is "simpler" = is it possible to have several batchRun active at the same time to have real-time synchronization when you go to the folder concerned?

Yes, that is possible.
But as you already have two different batch-files (batchRun1 and batchRun2), you can better also create a dedicated RTS task for each of these batch-files (RTS1 and RTS2).
The RTS1 monitors for changes in C/original folder 1 and D/folder X, and when detecting any such changes will run batchRun1, while RTS2 will monitor for changes in C/original folder 2 and D/folder Y, and when detecting any such changes will run batchRun2

There can be multiple RTS task (and FFS tasks) active at the same time without any problem, as long as the RTS monitored folders and the FFS synced folders of the "1" and "2" versions do not have full or partial overlaps.

Hello,

Thank you for this return.
This is excellent news because in fact, I did not see how possible it was.
It was simple and I learned something new.
