Super Flexible File Synchronizer is used to back up data and to synchronize PCs, servers, and notebooks. Users can choose the user interface that suits them best: Wizard Mode or Advanced Mode. The settings are stored in multiple profiles, and the software comes with support for FTP and secure FTP servers, ZIP compression, data encryption, and a scheduler for automated backups. On Windows NT/2000/XP, or 2003 Server, the scheduler can run as a service without users having to log on. This program features the ability to freely select files and folders across the whole folder hierarchy in a tree view, and it has support for e-mail notification, profile categories, and various filters.

    Extremely feature-rich and robust synchronizer.I can't recommend it enough. FYI: The current version is 4.57

    The new version 4.49 should now fix the issue reported here.

    ^ Indeed, problem fixed. My thanks to the author. I can now use SFFS in a way that SyncBackPro does not allow: To ZIP/encrypt files and store them directly on an FTP server. (The 2BrightSparks people seem baffled that such a thing is possible. I'm baffled that I seem to be the only one backing up that way.)

    ^ I did not miss the "Real Time Deletions" checkbox (and the delay was set to "0"). Also, please note that "somusque" is the author.

    This was with version 4.47c (also duplicated with 4.48b and 4.48c):

    I tried setting up a profile to establish an FTP server as a mirror. I enabled mirror mode (duh), configured the mirror mode settings, unattended settings, special settings, safety settings, and all the other settings... And I could not get the scheduler to delete files on the FTP server automatically, without stopping and restarting the scheduler.

    If the scheduler was left running, it simply kept saying "Nothing to be done" when files were deleted from the source. All the settings seemed to be as they should be. When I ran the profile interactively, it flagged the deletions.

    I very much think that this is a bug because if a file is deleted on the source, the scheduler won't do anything, but if that same files is then restored to the source, the scheduler copies it again to the destination (FTP server)--even though that exact file is already there. (I can tell the file is copied over due to the time/date change.)

    Love the new, simplified UI! Far less noisy than the old one.

    Awesome tool. Fast, stable, reliable.

    I've spent the last several years searching for a fast, reliable synchronization tool (w/ delta copy capability) for personal use. This search has led me to purchase, test, and uninstall a lot of tools (very frustrating!). Super Flexible File Synchronizer is the first sub-$100 tool I can rely on. It's been working flawlessly for almost six months (can't say that for any other sub-$100 tool with similar features). I'm running it on Vista Ultimate x64, Vista Ultimate 32-bit, and Windows XP Pro.

    Delta copy functions are indispensable for multi-gigabyte encrypted disk files (True-crypt), irtual machine disk images (Vmware, Virtual PC, etc), and .PST files. What use to take hours to backup/sync now takes minutes (after the first run).

    It has a number of useful features exposed in a fairly straitforward, easy-to use interface. Logging is good and the ability to run pre-/post-scripts is handy for more advanced operations.

    If you don't need delta copy (binary difference copy) capabilities, SureSync is a fantastic alternative.
