Automatic Folder Sync Software

Folder synchronization software (at least the solutions worth checking out) needs to have fours steps implemented in: compare directories contents, determine changed files, and initiate data transferring in both ways. If you do it manually, a procedure of mere folder sync will require a lot of time, and the more folders you need to synchronize, the more efforts you need to exert. When it comes to complete PC synchronization, it’s practically undoable.

Handy Backup is a data sync software designed to fully automate all related processes and reduce the efforts to the minimum. Whether you want to synchronize folders on local drives, sync laptop and desktop via network, or perform sync backup (mirror backup) to an FTP location, Handy Backup will be your best choice.

Folder Synchronization Features

Handy Backup can synchronize and back up laptop/desktop files and folders, and has the following significant features:

• Local folder synchronization. The application is capable to sync folders on any local and external drives, including FireWire and USB, floppy disks, ZIP, JAZ, MO and other storage media.
• Remote file sync with network drives. Handy Backup supports folder synchronization via LAN which is of great usefulness for PC sync purposes.
• FTP sync. Unlike other synchronization software, Handy Backup can sync computers via FTP/SFTP, and allows you to back up or restore data from remote servers.
• Files synchronization priorities. You can specify how the utility should treat files with similar names and which files (smaller, older, etc.) must be overwritten.
• Sync files filtering. Handy Backup allows synchronizing files of specific types only through the use of file masks.
• Folder synchronization scheduling. Handy Backup features a flexible scheduler which allows you to automate all backup and sync processes on your PC.

The folder synchronization task in Handy Backup can hardly be used for complete computer cloning, because it exploits “common” file system queries. You can use it to sync data that doesn’t contain any system records and can be transferred through ordinary copying. To back up operating system and applications you need to exploit a disk imaging technology which is a separate feature of Handy Backup. To learn more, please refer to image backup...
