Allway Sync is backup and file synchronization software that allows backing up and synchronizing files to the same or different drives, to different media (CD, DVD, Flash, zip), or to a remote server.[2]
Features
- Like SuperFlexible file synchronizer, GoodSync and Unison, it has the capability to remember the previous state of directories in a database, and thus also synchronize deletions.
- It can synchronize more than two directories at once.
- It can update and back-up files over a local network or the Internet, although the functionality of FTP support is debated [3]
- Support for many file systems, like FAT, NTFS, SAMBA, NetWare, CDFS, and UDF.
- Includes a scheduler.
- File masks & filters.
Versions
There are various versions.[4] Users of the freeware version are requested to buy the pro version if they use the software for a commercial purpose or to synchronize more than 40,000 files in 30-day period. This pro version has exactly the same functionality as the free version.
- Allway sync (freeware version)
- Allway sync Pro (for use in businesses, governments military and other enterprise environments. Removes the 40,000 files/month limitation)
