File synchronization, in its simplest form, is automatic copying. Handy Backup supports file and folder synchronization. In the file synchronization process the files from a specified directory on one system are mirrored to a directory in a second system. Whenever changes are made, or at specified points, the computers communicate and share any changes that have been made to the directory or files.
