Microsoft SyncToy
|
Microsoft SyncToy enables you to backup and synchronize your files and folders between two locations on a local or removable drive. It offers an easy to use step-by-step interface as well as advanced options that allow you to set file filters, include or exclude sub-folders and more. The program supports true synchronization (two-way) as well as Echo and Contribute which are more intended for backup purposes. You can preview the entire operation with all actions to be taken before any files are processed. Other features include command-line options and scheduling (via Task Manager).
Features:
1. Dynamic Drive Letter Assignment: Drive letter reassignment will now be detected and updated in the folder pair definition.
2. True Folder Sync: Folder creates, renames and deletes are now synchronized for all SyncToy actions.
3. Exclusion Filtering Based on Name: File exclusion based on name with exact or fuzzy matching.
