File/ Folder Sync: Microsoft SyncToy 2.1 Released
SyncToy 2.1, is a free utility from Microsoft, provides an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without added complexity.
SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders located on the same drive or across hard drives, USB, network drives, etc.. at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one, and mimic renames and deletes in another. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.
For Mobile devices with large capacity storage card, instead of deleting and back up with new image of your storage card, you can just have SyncToy to compare and sync between your previous backup and the latest image and resync them for you.
The new features of Synctoy 2.1 include:
- Better Performance: The speed of file copy operations is significantly increased across the board.
- Improved Robustness: Much more resilient to transient network and file system errors and better error reporting which pin-points which file the sync failed on in case there’s a fatal error that stops the sync.
- Folder pair configuration backup: Folder pair configuration is automatically backed up under %localappdata%\microsoft\synctoy\2.0. User can replace SyncToyDirPairs.bin with the backup copy to resolve last saved configuration.
