I've noticed the progress info for a running profile is not displayed for my backups that are started from a Windows command. Also, the status is blank (although it displays "Success" when the backup is complete). I don't remember if it has always been the case, but it has been that way for over a year. I have several profiles that are launched from Macrium Reflect scripts. I would very much like to see the progress of these SychBackPro backups.
I'm currently running SyncBackPro V11.3.72.0. I think this behavior existed in v10, too, and maybe even earlier.

Re: Main menu info for profile started from command
Works for me in a batch file.
SyncBackPro accepts a number of command line parameters. Some of these are used when SyncBackPro is called from the Windows Task Scheduler. Note that when SyncBackPro is run with command line parameters, by default it will run in Unattended mode and be minimized, which means that it will not prompt the user and will not be visible on screen.
-n: The profiles following this parameter are run in normal mode, i.e. dialogs and windows are displayed on the screen. By default profiles run from the command line are run in minimized mode.

Re: Main menu info for profile started from command
For years I've misunderstood the various Run modes. I assumed "Unattended" meant the main menu - the SyncBackPro GUI - was not displayed. But I now see that my scheduled tasks run in "Normal" mode (and don't display the GUI unless I manually invoke it) so I guess that's what I want for the backups started from the command line. Or maybe I want "Minimized" mode. I guess I'll play around and try them.
