GoodSync 7.7.0

GoodSync 7.7.0 is a  backup and file synchronization software designed to automatically analyze, synchronize, and back up your emails, precious family photos, contacts, MP3s, financial documents, and other important files locally - between desktops, laptops, servers, external drives, and Windows Mobile devices, as well as remotely through FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and more.

When you work, even just occasionally, on multiple computers, you probably have to copy files from one device to the other. Although you could memorize all of your file modifications, there are better ways to apply your skills. Let GoodSync take care of recent changes to your files. It looks for the latest version of a file, in specified folders, and copies it to the other folders, i.e., it synchronizes them.

Unlike other filesynchronization software which just copies files with the most recent file modificationtime, GoodSync implements a sophisticated algorithm which does not depend on systemclock accuracy.

GoodSync is fast, safe, stable, and easy-to-use. All you need to do is to specify the local or network folders (directories) to be synchronized and the program does the rest. If your computers are not connected, use a removable drive to synchronize them.

Never Lose Your Emails, Photos, MP3s, etc...  GoodSync file synchronization software combines bulletproof reliability with an extremely easy to use interface to compare, synchronize, and backup your emails, contacts, photos, iTunes, MP3s, and other important files.

How It Works?

• GoodSync, is the latest software in a series of highly reliable, easy to use products from Siber Systems, the makers of RoboForm. The program automatically synchronizes and backs up emails, photos, financial documents, MP3s and any other important files between desktops, laptops, servers, and external drives.
• GoodSync uses an innovative synchronization algorithm to prevent file deletion, data loss, and eliminate duplicate files. GoodSync already enjoys numerous favorable reviews from both users and the press. Its powerful technology is remarkably easy to use, and is the only solution that offers true bi-directional synchronization.
• See for yourself how easy it is to set up and use GoodSync. Below you will find our quick setup guide and automatic synchronization instructions.

Major Features:

1. General Features
   • True Bi-Directional Synchronization Prevents Data Loss. GoodSync can automatically detect and synchronize creation, deletion, and all other changes, made by the user in folders, subfolders, and files. 
   • One-Way Synchronization Provides an Easy Backup Solution. Easy to setup One-Way Synchronization provides an easy and reliable backup solution. 
   • Lightning Fast Speed, Low Memory Requirement. GoodSync is much faster than other synchronization programs and it takes less memory. It can analyze a job with 1M files and folders on each side in less than 10 minutes on only 500 Mb of memory. 
   • Syncs not just Windows folder but also FTP, WebDAV, SFTP, S3. GoodSync can sync any two folder located on Windows Local Disk, Windows Network Server (SMB), FTP server, WebDAV server, Secure FTP (SSH) server, Amazon S3 server. 
   • Syncs with your Windows Mobile Phone and Pocket PC too. GoodSync can sync files on Windows Mobile Phone or Pocket PC device (Windows CE) to desktop. 
   • Selective File Synchronization: Exclude and Include Filters. Files can be excluded from synchronization based on name pattern, size, modification time. 
   • Automatic Reconnect for Remote Folders. GoodSync automatically reconnects remote folders if they lose connection during Analyze or Sync. 
   • Flexible and Easy Sync Automation. Analysis and Synchronization can be automatically started by timer, on schedule, on portable disk arrival, on GoodSync start, on Logoff. 
   • 64-bit version. GoodSync for Windows comes both in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
2. Sync Algorithm
   • No File System Monitoring Is Required. Changes in files are automatically detected by comparing current file status to the stored file status, so no OS-based file monitoring is required. 
   • Deletions Are Propagated. GoodSync can propagate your file deletions, even through a chain of Syncs. 
   • Chained Synchronization for Multiple Devices. Changes performed by GoodSync can be transferred to other computers/devices. Example: You can synchronize files between computers A and B which are not connected to each other, by synchronizing Computer A to a USB disk, and then syncing USB disk to computer B. 
   • Embedded Jobs Handled. One folder and its subfolders can participate in more than one job, some of these jobs syncing folders about this folder. For instance, you can sync folder C:workproject to USB key, sync folder C:work to portable hard drive and file state changes registered in one job will be seen by the other job.
   • Case Sensitivity. For GoodSync file and folder names are case-sensitive, that is, FolderFile.txt is not the same as folderfile.txt. So you can easily sync with Internet servers that are case-sensitive. And GoodSync makes sure your file names are the same on both sides of the job, including the case of letters.
   • Time Shifts Are Detected And Fixed. When modification time of number of files is different by the same whole number of hours, GoodSync can correct file modification time without copying the file.
   • FTP File Modification Time Sync. GoodSync uses MDTM FTP command (where available) to get/set precise file modification time.
   • File Mod Time Translation For Non-Preserving File Systems. For file systems that do not preserve file modification time when copying, GoodSync implements a novel time translation technique that make mod time appear to be preserved by copy action.
   • Sync Just File Modification Times for Time Shifts. If you think that files are the same and they have different modification time, GoodSync can copy just modification time, without copying the file bodies. 
3. User Interface
   • Real Time Action Monitoring in User Interface. All changes, conflicts, and other actions are automatically detected and are displayed for real time monitoring. Automated resolution of conflicts is also available.
   • Visual Comparison of all Files Made Easy. File and folders are displayed on one tree making visual comparison easy. Unlimited number of files and folders can be displayed on one tree with properties displayed for each file.
   • Slice It and Dice It With Tree Views. File to be synced are sorted into different groups (All, Left to Right, Right to Left, New Files, Deleted Files, Excluded, etc) and Tree Views allow to see all these different groups in File Tree. 
   • Tab Display for Jobs Allows Better Organization and Matching of Sync Jobs. Each Sync pair (Job) is shown as tab in the main window.
   • Job List Pane as Main Control Panel. Job List pane shows status of all jobs.
   • Total Bytes and Counts At All Levels. At every level of your file tree you will how many size and what total size will be copied both ways.
   • Browse Dialog for Easy Folder Selection. Browse dialog allows you to select folder both in Local and Remote file systems using the same easy tree-based graphical interface. 
   • Mini Window for Specialized Applications. GoodSync can be pre-programmed by system administrator to perform a specific sync jobs and show only minimal Mini-Window GUI. 
4. Security
   • Encrypt Backups using EFS. You can use Windows Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt your backups. In GoodSync you can specify encrypted/decrypted status of sync folder.
   • Online Backups Via Encrypted Channel. If you backup to Secure FTP or WebDAV + SSL online file systems then
     all files transferred and your authentication passwords are encrypted en route.
   • Job Tags Mark Portable Devices. Job Tags ensure that when you plug in portable disk and GoodSync syncs with it, it is the same disk that you synced with last time.
   • Free Space Required Predicted. GoodSync computes Free Space needed to complete Sync before you start it, so you know whether you have enough disk space before you start.
   • Automatic Reconnects. If connection to server is lost, GoodSync can automatically reconnect.
     This helps getting around network timeouts and short interruptions in service.
