Dsync is a directory merging and synchronization tool ideal for backups. It allows users to synchronize the contents of two different directories.
Dsync is an early release, and the developer cautions users that it is far from a reliable or predictable tool. It is best used as development-grade software in need of feedback to improve. Dsync's features are designed to work exclusively with Mac OS X (and its peculiarities). Still, tweaks can be made comfortably to make it compatible with any Unix-like operating system.
Installation is relatively simple and involves copying and setting permission flags on the dsync file, as well as creating symbolic links to Perl or the MacOSX::File module by Dan Kogai. At present, Dsync only comes with one upgrade: the addition of the option to perform lax synchronization to foreign file systems. In all, Dsync is an essential tool for anyone who needs to merge or synchronize files, especially on Mac OS X systems.
