Presentation

Synchronizer is a tool allowing to synchronize two folders together.

You can use it, for example, to backup personal files to an external disk drive or another computer (if you are connected on a local network).

Its use is very simple, you need to create first a task by choosing :

  • the source folder, i.e. that containing the files to be transferred
  • the destination folder, i.e. that which will become an "image" of the source folder
  • a possible filter for the files to take into account and/or to exclude from research (by default, all the files will be treated)
  • a possible list of folders to be excluded from research
  • options to be applied (include sub-directories, empty folders delete, non-matching items delete, update of the destination only, shortcut creation, default task)

Then press on the Check button to see the list of the operations necessary to the folder synchronization, or on the Synchronize button to launch the treatment directly.

You can also define a project made up of several tasks. You will be able moreover to configure it to be launched automatically either with a command line (with the command line switch /AUTO) or with the included scheduling module (based on a launcher or a Windows service).

Synchronizer can be configured, for example, to preserve in file LOG the operations carried out or to modify the synchronization window color.

You can also choose the language to be used :
