Product Description:

FoldersSynchronizer Lite is the lite version of a nifty and popular utility for Macintosh (Classic and Mac OS X Jaguar, Panther and Tiger) which synchronizes and backs-up files, folders and disks. The user can choose one or more pairs of files/folders/disks and then they will be synchronized/backed-up exactly. This lite version grants some feature less than the full version. Anyway it grants the standard features anyone would expect from a sync/backup software.

Features:

FS can backup the whole MacOS X boot disk and make it bootable.
FS can sync/backup the deleted files/folders (Exact Sync feature and Exact Backup feature).
FS allows creating, renaming, duplicating, deleting, editing of multiple Sessions in a single document.
FS can assign different Settings to each session.
FS can create, save and open Sessions Files.
FS can copy invisible Files and Folders.
FS can include/unlock the locked files, so it can delete/replace also the locked files.
FS can resolve aliases and SYM links.
FS can stop or skip or ask for further instruction, if an error occurs.
FS can show the "Items to be copied" Preview List.
FS can save/display short or detailed Log Files (always or only if an error occurred).
FS can work with root privileges, even if the user is not the root (it asks for the root password).
FS works properly on Long file names, Unix permissions, Multiple forks, Forks > 2GBytes, SYM links and GMT Date/Time.
FS allows drag and drop of source and destination folders/files.
FS can work in background (multithreading). Registered copies have no limit to the amount of files/bytes to be copied.
FS can quickly copy GBs and GBs of data.

What's new in this version:

Fixed a small bug when copying files larger than 2GB to remote AFP disks. Therefore now FS doesn't say longer that the destination disk has not enough free space, when there is enough free space indeed.

I use this to backup Documents, Music, and Pictures to my external disk. Darn easy. Don't know about automating it yet, but I have no problem launching the program once a week and clicking a few buttons.

Perfect so far for my needs - Version: 3.5.2, 9/20/2005 01:38PM PST

VT has an older version still posted for this. This review is for version 3.5.4

I was looking for something more affordable than Synchronize Pro to keep 2 separate external hard drives and their partitions in sync (I've been burned one too many times with hard drive failures, don't ever buy Maxtor drives and expect them to last). In any case, this app is a deal for $20. since all I need to do is make sure I have synced backups of my hard drive partitions. The developer was very friendly and answered all of my questions very well before I even purchased it. The only thing that could make this app better is if it were free. But people do have to make a living, so I have no problems at all paying the $20. to make sure my data is current and backed up. This is a must own app if you value your data, IMO.
