OneWaySynchronize
What is it
OneWaySynchronize is a small and fast utility for file backup and mirroring.
It copies files in one direction only for maximum source file safety.
It works very well with removable drives which are going to have an exact copy of files from a main storage area on a regular basis.
Usage examples
- Backup of files from PC to USB-drive.
- Backup of files from PC to a server.
- Update of photos and music from main PC to a mediacenter.
Differences from other synchronization applications
- Only copies in one direction, from source to destination. Source files are always safe and will never be modified in any way.
- Destination files are never "safe" during synchronization. The are deleted or overwritten with no warning in order to make the destination files match the source files.
- Does not write any hidden information in your directories. Works "live" each time. Does not rely on saved information.
Disadvantages
Not really disadvantages, it's the design of the software:
- No selection of individual files or directories, only source and destination directories are selected. Works from there only with wildcards.
- Renames never happen on destination. If a file or directory is renamed on the source, the file or directory with the old name will be deleted on the destination and the file or directory with the new name on the source will be copied all over again. This is the price for not saving hidden file information.
