There is however no option to make last minute adjustments to the job which means that you will have to open the configuration of the job again to do that.

It supports a preview option that displays exactly what will happen when you run the synchronization job. It does support one-way and two-way syncing though and a couple of additional features that you configure during setup of a new sync job.

Compared to other syncing programs it is rather bare-bones which does not have to be a bad thing depending on your needs. Create SynchronicityĬreate Synchronicity is an easy to configure file backup and synchronization software. A detailed log file is available as well which you can enable under options. It highlights the current operation and the remaining steps and errors so far. The progress is highlighted in steps when a job runs. It is for instance possible to link backup jobs to removable devices so that they are only run when the device is connected to the system. The preferences hold additional options of interest. The program can monitor the source directory in real-time, using specific intervals or manually.

What sticks out on the other hand is support for delta-copying files which reduces the time it takes to update already synced files by transferring only the parts that have been modified. You will notice that you can only configure one-way sync operations using the program. There you select the source and destination folders as well as all parameters for the job. ( Portable version link)Īllway Sync - Limits syncs to 40,000 files per calendar monthīvckup opens a clean interface on launch., First thing you do is create a new backup profile under File and configure it.

Should not limit you in regards to the synchronization (no file limits, use limits).Ĭreate Synchronicity - Open Source Software.

Should work with a variety of devices including internal and external hard drives, network shares and removable devices.

Filters to include/exclude files or folders based on rules that you specify.

Supports one-way and two-way synchronization of data.

Supports manual and automatic (scheduled) modes of operation.

While cloud syncing services have their advantages, it makes little sense to use them when you want to sync files in a local network between devices.īefore we look at the programs that we reviewed for this article, it is important to define what makes a good file synchronization software.

If that doesn't happen, I'd say we should remove FFS from Flathub and start looking for an alternative tool (unfortunately, because I really like FFS).This article concentrates on local solutions only that are offered for free and run on all supported versions of the Windows operating system. I suggest we wait some time whether the developer retracts on his/her decision to provide a root-only installer for Linux (and no binary tarball or at least a user-only installer). Of course if somebody is willing to step in a handle all of this, I'll be more than happy. I don't have time nor nerves for that crap. The source code dump is apparently an afterthought for the developer, and incorrect practices are used throughout the whole process.įor this reason I don't intend to go back to building from source. But the binaries must have been built from a different source in that case. It's sad to read Arch devs comments like " After many nights of plowing through code i managed to get the horror release 11.1 done".ĭ) it's clear that the source tarball is actually not used to build the binaries, because sometimes it outright fails to build because of errors and the developer sometimes corrects that afterwards. Projects should never depend on privately patched libraries (and if they do, at least bundle them), yet FFS does exactly that.

Arch ones) even go as far as to patch FFS source code to not rely on the patched library functionality (again, at the expense of a different runtime behavior). That either causes the build to fail, or makes the runtime behavior of FFS different from the upstream version. There were multiple reasons why I switched from building from source to packaging pre-built binaries, including:ī) no proper build system (like cmake or meson), just a single makefile, which often required heavy patching to workĬ) the developer modifies system libraries like curl, ssh or wxwidgets, but doesn't supply their source, just an unparseable diff described in Bugs.txt in the tarball. tmp/FreeFileSync_11.6_ncOAnF/install.sh: line 75: sudo: command not found
