Auto-closing application before running profile?

SyncBackFree is the freeware version of SyncBack. It is *not* an evaluation version of SyncBackPro/SE.

Auto-closing application before running profile?

Post by nereus »

Hello,

I haven't found how do this with the Free version of Syncback* so it could only be available in the commercial versions.

As a work-around to the Free version not copying locked files, I was wondering if a profile could close a given application before running (and possibly wait a few seconds so I can save the file, before Syncback gives it another try). I don't mind if I have to restart the app after Syncback is done.

Thank you.

* in eg. "Programs - Before" section of a profile

Found a work-around:

TASKKILL /F /IM myapp.exe
