Sync and back up files and folders with ease, using a user-friendly tool.
This software review is about a program called 1-2-3 Synchronize & Backup. The purpose of the program is to help users synchronize files between two folders, between a folder and a floppy disk, or between a folder and an FTP server. Additionally, the program functions as a backup tool. The program's developer, Dan Peterson, created it to be a small, easy-to-use tool.
To get started with the synchronization feature, users simply need to select a synchronization folder as the source and another synchronization folder as the destination. After selecting the folders, the user clicks the "Synchronize!" button, and the files in the selected folders will be synchronized. There is also an option to only update files that exist in BOTH folders.
The backup function of the program is also easy to use. Users select a source folder to be backed up and a destination folder to store the backup archives. Once selected, users click "Backup!", and the source folder is backed up in the destination folder. If users want to restore a previous backup, they can click "Restore From Backup", select the necessary backup archive, and click OK.
One notable feature of 1-2-3 Synchronize & Backup is its command line control. Users can create .bat files that synchronize or backup sets of folders every day using Windows Scheduler.
Lastly, the program is shareware, meaning users can use it for 30 days before needing to register. To register, users need to click the "About" tab and select "Order Online!".
Overall, 1-2-3 Synchronize & Backup is a simple and user-friendly program that would be particularly useful for individuals or companies looking for an easy way to synchronize files between folders or backup important files.
