[QUOTE="ColonelMal, post: 990741, member: 63923"] I have been using GoodSync for at least three years and I have no complaints with it. However, I'm always on the lookout for alternative software for file synchronization if not for any reason other than to confirm in my mind that I'm using what's optimum for me. My main requirements are as follows: [LIST] [*]Scheduled backups/synchronization [*]Backups triggered by file changes in the source directory/ies with a configurable delay before the synchronization takes place [*]Email notification about the result in each case [*]Ability to set up various jobs of files and/or folders that will be synchronized [*]Grouped tasks (jobs) [*]Versioning [*]Copy locked files [*]Security attributes propagation [*]Not expensive! [/LIST] Nice to have - [LIST] [*]Delta copy if possible, that is copy only the changed blocks [*]Detect file or directory moves or renames and act accordingly [/LIST] I have read about AllwaySync, SyncFolders, SyncBack Pro and Viceversa as well as others that I don't recall now. I also actually used Freefilesync in the past, but in a rather different context. I consider the ones that I named as fairly good candidates or alternatives to GoodSync, but each one has its pros and cons. My annual subscription to GoodSync is due in a couple of months and I would appreciate your views based on your experience with file synchronization. [/QUOTE]
