Product Description:
ChronoSync easily synchronizes or backs-up files and folders in a variety of ways. Synchronize files between folders, hard drives, removable media, laptops, file servers, or any computer, not just a Macintosh. ChronoSync offers these capabilities:Fully customizable toolbar. All synchronization settings are stored in separate, self-contained, double-click- able documents that can be run or modified at any time. Synchronize files in any direction or bi-directionally. Establish simple, intermediate, or advanced rules to include or exclude files by name, size, date, extension, plus other more advanced options. Compare files before and after synchronizations to see the status of every file. Run trial synchronizations to check results before committing. Special options that ignore invisible files, resolve alias, preserve folder attributes and synchronize deletions. A complete transaction log maintains a complete history of all synchronizations run with options for exporting and printing. Automate synchronization with a full-featured scheduler. Schedule synchronizations to occur at launch, termination, once, or any repetitive time frame desired. Launch ChronoSync at system startup and have it run in the background. Use AppleScripts to automate the process even further.
What's new in this version:
- Added the "Expand all Folders" and "Collapse all Folders" commands to the "View" menu.
- The "Restore" command may now be applied to a file-pair earmarked for deletion.
- Improved performance while aggregating package dates.
- Improved performance while deleting large packages.
- Minor interface tweaks.
- Eliminated an exception that was being raised when trying to scan the contents of a folder for which the user had no read access permissions. This behavior was introduced by Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4 (a.k.a "Tiger").
- Implemented additional logic to work around an OS bug that can cause crashes in rare circumstances.
- Eliminated a memory leak associated with opening and closing synchronizer document windows.
- Implemented additional logic to more thoroughly deal with the possibility of losing server connections in the middle of a synchronization.
- Eliminated the ability for the user to "Retry" a failed operation when the error that occurred is considered fatal.
- Eliminated a theoretical deadlock that could occur when one synchronizer starts at the precise moment that another synchronizer is terminating itself.
- Fixed a problem where modification dates for previously synchronized folders were not being collected.
- Fixed a problem where attributes coming from a resolved alias folder were not being correctly applied to its counterpart.
- Fixed a bug that could cause ChronoSync to 'forget' all collected state information for all files in a sync tree if a target is unmounted and then remounted while viewing the Analyze panel.
- Fixed a bug where attribute changes detected in Blind sync mode would generate a 'File not found' error if the file's counterpart did not exist.
- Fixed a bug whereby rules were not being applied to deleted files while running in the Blind sync mode.

I use an iMac at home and a laptop when travelling, so before and after each trip, I need to sync the machines. It works beautifully for this. The instructions can be a bit intimidating, but I haven't need to customize it much. I simply update several main folders (Docs, Desktop, etc.), and it works without a hitch. I haven't used it over a network, so I can't speak to that. But for my purposes, it's a dream.
The combination of ChronoSync and ChronoAgent was the solution I had been waiting for. The combination of these two programs has allowed me to duplicate the centralized functionality of Retrospect without the constant headaches.
I purchased the ChronoSync program and installed it on the server. Then I installed the Agent programs on each system. The result is like a very slimmed down (and much more reliable) version of Retrospect. All for a fraction of the cost!
It is backing up each system to our RAID MUCH faster than Retrospect and minus all of the hang-ups and errors and it still allows me to maintain centralized control of multiple system back ups.
If you are still saddled with Retrospect and have phased out tape backups... this may be the solution you've been looking for.
