New Version EasySYnc 1.1 available

November 08, 2010 by ktmerington@gmail.com

I would like to inform you that a new version of my synchronisation and backup program EasySync (Ver 1.1) is as of today available on Hobbes in the directory /pub/incoming", but will probably be moved to the directory /pub/os2/util/disk in the next few days.

With the latest version of EasySync (1.1) its even easier to synchronise directories thanks to the built in support for NetDrive. Together with NetDrive you can now synchronise with an FTP site, or synchronise/backup your files with a SAMBA server or a NTFS disk. EasySync lets you see at a glance what files need to be updated between two directories whether they reside on the same machine or even on separate PC's on the network. This simple but powerful graphical interface allows you show files which should be updated, files that have been deleted, files that are missing, files that are newer and older, were deleted etc., plus the proposed transfer direction. Transfer can be set to bi-directional to fully synchronize two directories or uni-directional to limit which directory(ies) is/are updated as may often be the case when backing up files. A choice to display files/directories which have been selected to be ignored during the synchronisation process is a standard option

Failsafe:

Whenever a file is about to be overwritten or deleted it is first stored on disk for later retrieval should it be necessary. The location of these files is called the Vault. The vault contains any number of versions of the same file every time that file is deleted or overwritten. The number of versions stored is only limited by the available disk space or by a number that you as a user have specified. All transactions are logged so that you can always verify what actions have taken place.
