FreeFileSync gets along perfectly with external mass storage devices as the target disk and can also quickly synchronize larger databases.
The add-on program RealTimeSync automatically carries out synchronization jobs you do not need to worry about anything after a one-off setup. ConclusionsįreeFileSync is a powerful tool for data synchronization on small networks it does not, however, perform real backups with incremental or differential runs. This delay is a very good idea, especially on busy file servers, because continuous synchronization of data with external mass storage devices would significantly affect the speed at which your server provides its services. If changes occur, it automatically synchronizes the files concerned and briefly displays a progress bar on the desktop during this process.ĭepending on the chosen interval – Idle time (in seconds) – the software synchronizes the directories with a delay.
The program is then minimized into the system tray of your desktop environment and monitors the designated folder for changes from now on.
