Features

  • It takes advantage of the delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent over the network by sending only the differences between the source files and the existing files in the destination.
  • It finds files that need to be transferred using a 'quick check' algorithm that looks for files that have changed in size or in last-modified time.
  • Save your settings, source and destination directories in a file to keep different profiles.
  • Exclude directories and/or files from your source to backup only the necessary data.
  • Configure group, owner and permissions for the destination files to keep the source ones or to be changed based on the default system configuration.
  • Recreate symlinks on the destination.
  • Configure to keep or override files on destination with modified time newer than source files.
  • Choose to keep the destination side an image of the source by deleting the files that aren't anymore in the source side.
  • Choose to delete any file or directory on the destination side that is marked as excluded from the source to be backed up.
  • Choose to skip creating files and directories that do not exist yet on the destination side.
  • Choose to skip updating files that already exist on the destination regardless the modification time.
  • Choose to copy directories from the source side recursively.
  • Choose to limit the size of the files to be transfered to the destination side.
  • There is an option to run the application in trial version to analyze the changes to be applied before running the real process.
