Allway Sync 10.5.8

Keep your files updated

allway-sync

Keep all files up to date

Using a USB key for storing files is very useful until confusion dawns on which file is the most recent. Allway Sync saves the work of checking the dates of files and can use a USB to keep files synchronised between two computers.

Setting up is simple; all that is required is to select the two folders that will be kept up to date. An analysis is made of the changes that have occurred and the changes are made after this.

Filters can be set to explicitly include or excludes files according to their type or location and logs can be created to record all the changes that Allway Sync has made.

The synchronisation can be started manually or according to a wide variety of criteria including when a USB key is plugged in, when files are changed or at regular intervals.

Advanced users can operate Allway Sync from the command prompt for fast use.
Files synchronised over a network are copied before removed so if the network connection is lost, the data is safe.

They request commercial users buy a license for US$20

My Impression

I've been using Allway Sync for about 4 months. I'm still using the free version but considering the $20 version since it seems to work very well for me. I use it in combination with a second hard drive. I just manually perform a synchronization every now and then of my entire profile on windows XP Pro (about 24Gb). I like the fact the backup files are very easy to access if needed. Nothing hidden nor obscure.

Set your exclusions first

Once each job is set up to omit certain file extensions, works better than than the others on the market. File transfer size is quite large, well worth installing. Pity the English version carries the American flag!!

Beware

If you have other files in the folder as well as the ones you wan't to synchronise. It will delete them!!
