Synchronize Files Between Computers

Do you have a laptop and a desktop that you use interchangingly? Have you ever wanted to synchronize files between computers over network? Since you're reading this, then you probably already know that Windows provides no viable means to accomplish network synchronization of several PCs. Luckily, there are solutions that can do that for you – Handy Backup is one of them.

Handy Backup is an award-winning data sync and backup software for Windows designed to take care of your data on an automatic basis. Handy Backup enables you to sync folders of two networked computers, either completely, or with file mask filtering (i.e. synchronize files of some specific types, or exclude unwanted types of files from syncing).

Synching Networked Computers

Handy Backup allows you to synchronize files between computers in two ways:

• Sync computers every time you log on or log off the PC on which the program is installed.


• Run data synchronization as scheduled events, which can take place each day, hour, or any other period of time.

In order to be selected as one of the folders for synchronization over LAN, a folder must be accessible by Handy Backup. This can be achieved through several methods: for example, you can share the folder's access permissions, or map the network drive which contains it with standard Windows means.

Note: file synchronization exploits standard file system queries and doesn't allow copying operating system which requires hard disk imaging. This is a more advanced technology which is available in Handy Backup Professional edition. Follow the link to learn about different editions of Handy Backup software...

Synchronize Computers via FTP

In addition to computer synchronization over LAN, Handy Backup features an integrated FTP client which lets you synchronize local/LAN folder with a remote FTP/SFTP folder. Say you need to sync data between your home and office computers. Since they can't just be brought in one place and connected directly to each other, FTP synchronization is the only option. With Handy Backup you do it with a couple of clicks – even if your work PC is behind a proxy server.

Synchronizing files between computers with Handy Backup is quick and effortless!
