I upgraded to v3.2 and I had two jobs that I do every day.
I need your help to create a batch file so I can schedule these jobs to be processed every day at 12.00 PM.
Just in case I could be blamed for being not clear. There is two seperate folders on a networked PC; I need to backup every day. So, I created a JOBa and JOBb. Each one synchronize the two similar folders in the main machine and the backup machine. So, I open synchronizeit! and execute JOBa, then followed by JOBb. I need to automate these jobs so, it will be done everyday at 12.00PM.
Batch process two jobs
1. Create project with your jobs - in Projects page select EditProjects etc.
2. Add task to system scheduler - Start>Settings>ControlPanel>ScheduledTasks>Add task.
You will need command line like
d:\path\wndsync.exe ProjectName /Auto.
To check that everything is working properly, you can change/auto to /scan - it will open application window and preview files list.
If you would need more detailed help on any step - just let me know.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Very comforeting to know that support is real.
First I used the wrong term when I mentioned JOB, it is suppose to be project.
As I understand it I use your command line TOWICE , one for each project
Then create a text file with these two lines ending it with .bat
Then I schedule the batch file. Is that correct ??

You can schedule wndsync directly. Does it matter that both projects were run at the same time? If backup folder is not same, you can schedule 2 tasks for the same time - one for each project, they should not interfere with each other. However if target folder is same, running two projects in same time could lead to problems - so you can:
1. Schedule 1 task at 12 pm, and another one - 1 hour later
2. Create batch using start /wait wndsync.exe Prj1 /auto so projects will be executed in turn.

I managed to create two sessions A & B to sync TWO seperate folders.
Combined the two into one project. Say MyProj.
Now created a bach file "x.bat" that contains ONE line only:
"G:\Program Files\Synchronize It!\wndsync.exe" MyProj /auto
It woked like a charm, but:
When dbl clk the bat file I get a dos screen which WILL frighten the hell out my secretary. The process goes silently and it was done successefully within a minute or less.
I have two concerns:
1. How to get rid of the Dos screen, I tried echo off inside the batch; no way
2. How to schedule the job to be done automatically. The Start /wait did not work and I need a handholding in this one.
Best regards
