Free Microsoft Backup/File Sync application

SyncToy is a very simple free Microsoft application that facilitates windows users to backup/sync files. User select as many as needed left folders and backup/sync with right folders that may be located in a pen drive or other PC in a LAN for example.

User can schedule the backup/sync using the Windows Task Scheduler or decide to backup/sync manually.

There are 5 possible actions:

  • Synchronize - New and updated files are copied both ways. Renames and deletes on either side are repeated on the other
  • Echo - New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames and deletes on the left are repeated on the right
  • Subscribe - Updated files on the right are copied to the left
  • Contribute - New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames and deletes on the left are repeated on the right. No deletions
  • Combine - New and updated files are copied both ways. Nothing happens to renamed and deleted files
User can also select what type of files they want to backup/sync and it's FREE.
