Mirror

The Gorse Fox has downloaded and tried out a neat bit of code called Allway Sync. This provides a tidy interface to set up various schemes for synchronizing folders and disks. (BTW, there is a free download but GF bought a fully licensed copy for all of £10).

GF has set it up to monitor his "active" drives and folders and to copy changes across to his external hard drive. The code permits a number of filters to be applied, and different synchronization schemes... (periodic, on startup, on log-out, on change, etc). It also allows you to set different versioning rules for changed or deleted files, which is nice. It's taken a little while to get all of the filters right, but it's looking pretty good.
