FreeFileSync Forum

Here are the relevant lines: FFS_Command = ToolsFolder & "\FreeFileSync\RealTimeSync.exe " & ToolsFolder & "\FreeFileSync\GSKSyncJobW.ffs_real" objShell.Run FFS_Command, 0,False I think that the fact we are starting RealTimeSync as a hidden window is the error here in...

We are starting RealTimeSync as part of a user login process - a start menu Startup folder items runs a VBScript that checks some settings and then calls RealTimeSync - working very well. Once the user logs in, the script runs, RealTimeSync runs in the system tray, but if the user right-clicks on th...

just to close out the thread, we are using a wrapper script and a flag file to catch the return; if FreeFileSync exits AND we see our custom flag file on the server, we made it through all the required folder pairs. A separate process (run at next login) looks to see if our flag file is on the serve...

Ok, sarcasm duly noted (grin)...I'll have a read over the changelog!

Totally understand about the xml, our situation is easily remedied by simply
migrating entirely to 3.7, which we will do, thanks again for all your help!

I have done just that, opened our old files in the new 3.7, made some minor edits, saved them wtih the same name, and 3.6 throws an exception, so what I had to do was just use 3.6 to edit them, because we are still running 3.6 as our standard version. I could also just migrate to 3.7 across the boar...

I am using 64-bit FreeFileSync 3.7 on Windows 7 to maintain our backup and restore files, but when I run the _batch file I have generated in that 3.7 version on a system running 3.6, I get an error that it could not read the XML node <Active>, which I think is the flag to activate the filter. In 3.7...

Ok, so by synchronous, you mean "start it and wait for it for finish..." so that we can get an error code back and not have RealTimeSync try to run another round until the first one is really done. What numeric error codes do you return? If we can in fact use the error codes to evaluate th...

We are making really good progress in getting FreeFileSync incorporated in our tech refresh process, including user data backup and restore. This process relies on FreeFileSync to do the data backup as a mirror to a backup location on the network, with locally monitored directories and a short windo...

RE: "xml configuration above is already correct". Do you mean this config: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <FreeFileSync XmlType="REAL"> <Commandline>C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\backup.ffs_batch&qu...

ok, that's going better now...created a configuration, exported as a batch file, then imported the batch file into RealTimeSync, updated the command line in the real file to run the batch file, set the delay to 1200, exported as a real file, stored both files in the program file directory (just for ...

Sorry, I did not read that carefully enough, I did not catch the
recommendation to import our batch file into RealTimeSync rather than just
renaming the file, let me import my batch file into RealTimeSync and all will
be well.

ok, so if I create my correct _batch file (which we have done), I can simply
rename this or save this as a *_real file and then *add to that* the delay
value for the sync time and that will work?

Excellent, thank you for that! I assume I can simply copy over the folder pair information to a new *.ffs_real file and use that as our master backup plan. I appreciate the feedback on the sync time, we have it set for a pretty high window so that the user does not see the sync happen all the time, ...

We are working on a company wide config for RealTimeSync to help with system backups and restores, and are installing a pre-configured RealSync file to set the delay value to our preferred number of seconds (3600). This delay value, which I believe is stored in the following file: C:\Documents and S...
