DirSync Pro is a small but powerful utility for file and folder synchronization. It can be used to synchronize the content of one or many folders recursively. Are you someone who wants or needs to synchronize data that you keep on several devices? With this tool you can easily synchronize files from your desktop PC to your USB Stick, external HD/SSD, Notebook, etc.
If you are looking for a solution to backup, copy, or even clone entire partitions of a hard drive or the complete harddrive (or SSD) then we recommend Macrium Reflect.
Details
Using DirSync Pro, you can make incremental backups. In this way, you’ll spare lots of time because you don’t have to copy all the files manually each time you want to update your backups. Only new/modified/larger files would be copied. The tool provides some preconfigured modes (e.g., Mirror, Backup, Contribute) for common synchronization and backup tasks and some custom modes to set up the synchronization behavior to meet specific wishes. Prior to synchronization, DirSync Pro analyzes files and folders. It detects any changes to any file/directory in the source. If a file is modified, removed, deleted, or renamed in the source, this software synchronizes the destination accordingly.
DirSync Pro has a user-friendly User Interface that helps you configure many options to your needs. You can use DirSync Pro also through the command line, making it very flexible for running in batches.
Using Filters in DirSync Pro
DirSync Pro lets you define advanced filters based on filename patterns (regular expressions can be used), file sizes, modification dates, file paths, and file metadata to include or exclude files/directories as desired.
A robust schedule engine is available that lets you schedule synchronization tasks in many different ways, minutely, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. Advanced users can use the many options to suit the synchronization behavior in detail. The application also provides many logging features which let you create detailed logs.
Real-Time Synchronization
A real-time synchronization option is available as well. It watches the source directory continuously and synchronizes the changes into the destination directory if a file/directory is changed.
Unlike many other synchronization software, DirSync Pro is Open Source. It is 100% free of charge, 100% free of commercial text, 100% free of advertisements, and 100% free of spyware. You can use it as long as you like, without any limitations in time or functionality. You can freely distribute it according to GPL3.
The software is entirely programmed in platform-independent Java™ so that it can be run under nearly every modern operating system, including Windows™, Linux™, and Macintosh™.
