Syncovery — File Backup & Sync Software for Windows

Syncovery is a Windows program designed to create backup copies of your computer’s data. It offers various options for backing up across multiple platforms and remote servers with ease. The intuitive interface of Syncovery allows you to quickly access its features and select the type of backup you need.

What makes Syncovery unique is its ability to upload data to the cloud or save it locally, based on your preferences. As a multi-platform tool, it provides several options for sharing data between different computers and integrates smoothly with major cloud storage services like Google Drive, Box, Amazon S3, Azure, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Rackspace.

Features and Highlights

• Synchronizes files and complete folder structures across different locations, like between a PC and a laptop. The 64-bit I/O ensures support for files larger than 4GB.
• Save entire sets of option settings as Profiles, allowing quick access to all saved configurations. You can even run multiple profiles with a single command.
• Detects Moved Files. If you've reorganized your folders by relocating files, Super Flexible File Synchronizer detects these changes and replicates them, for example, on your laptop—no unnecessary copying!
• Scheduler. Schedule data synchronization to a backup drive at any preferred time, daily or as frequently as needed.
• Smart and Flexible. If certain files are in use by other programs, the synchronizer will skip them initially, complete copying other files, then retry the locked files until all are successfully copied. You can set a time limit for these retries, which will only minimally impact CPU usage.
• Keep Multiple Backup Versions (optional). Instead of overwriting backups, this feature renames files until a selected number of versions is reached. You can specify where these older versions should go (same folder, a subfolder, or one specific subfolder for the profile).
• Database-Aware. To prevent data corruption with databases like SQL, the synchronizer will only copy files when it has exclusive access, ensuring the database server doesn’t operate on the file during copying. This feature works best when files are unused, such as at night.
• Recycle Bin for Older Versions. Unlike most programs, this tool can store overwritten files in the Recycle Bin, giving you a chance to retrieve them if necessary.
• Multiple File Masks (Inclusion and Exclusion). File masks are processed efficiently, avoiding any unexpected results, even with redundant mask entries.
• Select Base Folder Items. Synchronize specific folders without separate runs. Simply choose the base folder and select "Only Selected Items From Base Folders…" to include only chosen folders.
• Reduce Load with Obsolete File Folders. If you move outdated files to a specific folder, traditional synchronizers may copy them back from another device. By using the Select Base Folder Items option, obsolete folders are included for file moves but ignored for copying out.
• No Daylight Savings Time Issues. Exact 1-hour time differences are ignored if file sizes match, preventing syncing problems due to daylight savings offsets, even if they only affect certain files.
• Easily Resume When Disk is Full. Free up space, then let the software continue copying exactly where it left off, even mid-file.
• Unattended Mode. Allows automated operation without prompts. You can predefine which files may be overwritten.
• Optionally Create Exact Mirrors. If desired, you can create an exact mirror of your data, even if it involves deleting or replacing files with older versions.
