Super Flexible File Synchronizer 4.05 Build 49

Publisher's Description:

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.

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.

If you evaluated this tool and found a feature missing in the past, you should take another look now. I can't imagine what could be missing at this point. And, it all works well. I rarely even look at the results because I know my backup and sync have been performed exactly as I wanted.

thehunger mentioned it doesn't do delta copies, it does now with the version 3.49 we are using. We copy close to 2.5TB (not GB) of user files, department files and source code over our 100Mbps MAN link to our crisis center every day in about 5 hours thanks to delta copying. The NTFS permissions, time stamps, inheritance and file attributes are all copied properly. The application is also able to compress using ZIP prior to transmission and will get decompressed on the fly on the destination. A feature I can't comment on since we don't use (CPU load gets high). I tried DeltaCopy based on rsync and cygwin but it had problems with paths/filename of more than 255 characters which made our copies fail all the time. Also it wouldn't copy the permissions so I had to run a second pass with robocopy /ATSOU (no "D") to copy the permissions over. It made the whole process a lot slower. Haven't investigated if Unison suffers the same problem -- something to be careful about with cygwin based applications. The only negative comment I would give is with the scheduler which is easy to mess up by accident and the shear amount of options available. Both are minor once you start using the application for a while. There might be a memory leak issue with the v2.04 server end (responsible for the MD5 checksumming in delta copies). I noticed an increased memory usage slowly creeping up every day. All in all we are very satisfied with the product and had no problems paying for the Pro version.

In the next major version, the name will evolve into the simpler ExtremeSync. And here is the author's personal home page.
