AllSync & AllDup

What happens if a few tasks are set to the same time via the scheduler? Can AllSync run multiple tasks simultaneously, or will the program always wait until one task ends before another begins? TIA

Only one task can be started via the scheduler at the same time. Please use the "Tolerance" value of the tasks if you set the same start time to different tasks.

I understand about the tolerance time, but I'd like to run more than one task simultaneously.

My understanding is that if I have one task set to start at 2:00 and one at 2:01, the second will always begin after the first is done, and cannot run simultaneously. Is this correct?

Simultaneously is not possible...

Yes, but the second task starts only if his start time + tolerance is higher than the time the first task is finished...

Got it, thanks.

Any plans to implement multithreading? I back up over VPN and the other side's upload speed is significantly lower than my donload speed... I could easily back up simultaneously if the program let me do it.

Its on the ToDo-List, but i cant tell you when it will be implemented.

Hint: you can start your profiles simultaneously if you start them via the command line of AllSync...

Ooooh good hint...

The problem I see is that I would need to have a scheduler handy.... I like the way I sepcify maximum run times and make it quit at a certain hour, I really use that stuff. I prefer to wait until you implement it, rather than lose this wonderful functionality.

I also want to say what a great program! It is so smart, every angle seems to be covered, it's great because I feel that the author is on the same wavelength as me. The license model is brilliant, by the way. Look out for a purchase of 6 additional licenses in the next few days. Painful but brilliant :)

Maybe the onboard task scheduler from Microsoft fits your needs...

Your scheduler is much better :)
Microsoft doesn't e-mail me with the log.
