An Open-Source folder comparison and synchronization tool.

• Compare files (bytewise or by date) and synchronize them.
• No limitations: An arbitrary number of files can be synchronized.
• Unicode support.
• Network support.
• Transactional file copy
• Built-in support for very long filenames (more than MAX_PATH = 260 characters).
• Synchronization database for propagation of deleted files and conflict detection
• Copy NTFS alternate data streams, compressed and encrypted file attributes
• Support for multiple folder pairs with distinct configuration
• Full support for Windows/Linux Symbolic Links and Windows Junction Points.
• Lean & easily accessible UI: Highly optimized for speed and huge sets of data.
• Algorithms coded in C++ completely.
• All progress indicators optimized for maximum performance!
• Create Batch Jobs for automated synchronization with or without GUI.
• Focus on usability:
  
  • Only necessary functionality on UI: no overloaded menus or icon jungle.
  • Select all folders via drag & drop.
  • Last used configuration and screen settings are saved automatically.
  • Maintain and load different configurations by drag & drop, load-button or commandline.

• Create regular backups with macros %time%, %date% within directory names
