FoldersSynchronizer Publisher's Description:
FoldersSynchronizer is a nifty and popular utility for Macintosh (Classic and Mac OS X Tiger Panther and Jaguar) which synchronizes and backs-up files, folders and disks. The user can choose one or more pairs of files/folders/disks and then they will be synchronized/backed-up exactly.
Some features:
* FS can backup the whole MacOS X boot disk and make it bootable.
* FS can sync/backup the deleted files/folders (Exact Sync feature and Exact Backup feature).
* FS allows creating, renaming, duplicating, deleting, editing of multiple Sessions in a single document.
* FS can execute in a single task, all the Sessions defined in the Session List.
* FS can assign to each session, different Settings, Multiple List, Timers, Exclude List, Filters, Conflicts.
* FS can create, save and open ?Sessions Files?.
* FS can execute a Session at the time you specify in the timer list.
* FS can execute multiple synchronizations/backup (up to 32 pairs of folders) specified by a single Session.
* FS can filter the documents to copy by FileName, Type, Creator, Creation and Modification Date and Kind.
* FS can exclude, from the sync or backup, the folders and files you specify in the Excluding item list.
* FS can copy invisible Files and Folders.
* FS can include/unlock the locked files, so it can delete/replace also the locked files.
* FS can resolve aliases and SYM links.
* FS can check whether both the files have been modified after the last Backup.
* FS can stop or skip or ask for further instruction, if an error occurs.
* FS can show the "Items to be copied" Preview List.
* FS can save/display short or detailed Log Files (always or only if an error occurred).
* FS can send the Log Text via Email to a custom email address (always or only if an error occurred).
* FS works properly on Long file names, Unix permissions, Multiple forks, Forks > 2GBytes, SYM links and GMT Date/Time.
* FS allows drag and drop of source and destination folders/files.
* FS can work in background (multithreading).
* Registered copies have no limit to the amount of files/bytes to be copied. FS uses a buffer memory when copying each file. Never needing additional memory, it can quickly copy GBs and GBs of data.
CNET Editor's Review:
Data-backup sticklers will insist you need an archive utility with tons of features and round-the-clock support, but this affordable shareware alternative delivers a still-impressive feature set at a fraction of the cost of commercial programs. FoldersSynchronizer X provides an easy (if somewhat awkward at first) interface for synchronizing or backing up files, folders, and disks.
Read the entire review.
What's new in this version:
* As requested, we have added the "Sort Sessions" feature. Call the menu item "Sort Sessions" from the pop-up menu "Sessions" on the toolbar and you will be shown a list of the available Sessions. Drag the rows of the list to change the sort order of the Sessions. Additionally you can remove the sessions from the list.
