Start backup/sync job automatically upon program launch

[dhsewell]

Question Describe your question. (Please do not ask anything that you can figure out by experimenting at hand). I have tried experimenting to figure this out. I feel the answer must be obvious but I am just not getting there. Using the Windows task scheduler, I can launch the FastCopy program on schedule, but the backup/sync job never launches unless I go ahead and launch it manually. I need the program to be able to launch automatically every day at a set time.

Remarks Please add any additional information or screenshots.

Please describe the task scheduler settings. Also, if an fastcopy error log is recorded, please describe its contents.

You closed this ticket before I had a chance to respond. I launch the program from task scheduler. I launch the fastcopy executable with no command switches. It launches the program successfully but the sync job does not start automatically like I need it to. Can you help me with this please?

Please describe the exact steps and parameters that I can reproduce.

I will do that later today when I get back to my computer. I don't think their is anything wrong with your product but rather I don't have the knowledge to create a batch file to launch the sync job. I can launch the fastcopy program but it just sits there until I manually execute the sync job. I will take screenshots and send them to you.

This is what I have set up in task scheduler to start the FastCopy sync job automatically. What am I doing wrong?

The image is not showing. It seems that github does not reflect image attachments by email on the board.

How do I add a command to automatically launch the sync job and what command do I use?

I do not know what procedures and details you have done. Please describe it in detail. If I don't know how to reproduce it, I can't advise you.

[dhsewell]

Then please simply tell me how to automatically launch a sync job. I will uninstall and reinstall the program. I want to have one hard drive mirror another hard drive once a day overnight when the computer is not being used and the computer is unattended. Thank you
