simple sync

Simple Sync is a user-friendly application that allows for efficient synchronization of a designated 'source' folder with a corresponding 'destination' folder, essentially facilitating a backup process. The software operates through the use of the Unix shell script 'rsync', meaning that, similar to all shell scripts, users operate the program at their own risk. In the event that a file is deleted or overwritten, there is no reclaiming it.

The functionality of Simple Sync's 'delete backup files' button serves to remove files from the backup that are removed from the source folder, effectively ensuring that the backup folder mimics the source folder. Without selecting this option, Simple Sync will preserve all files located in the destination folder, leaving users with the need to manually delete extraneous data.

Users seeking to automate backup procedures will find Simple Sync's 'auto run' button particularly useful. When the 'auto run' function is selected, Simple Sync provides a five-second cancellation period before proceeding with synchronization. In the event that a user misses the cancellation window, they can simply quit the program and start the process again.

Overall, Simple Sync offers a straightforward and practical approach to file synchronization, with added features such as impeccably-timed auto-sync and customizable backup options.
