FileReplicationPro description
FileReplicationPro is a software solution for mission critical file replication, file synchronization, and file backup

FileReplicationPro is the best way to automate file copy operations and file distribution.

FRP is written in Java and will work on any operating system that supports Java, which includes any Windows operating system, any flavor of Unix including Linux, Novell Netware, Sun Solaris, and Mac OS X.

FRP, is a pure TCP/IP application. Simply put that means that any two computers that are connected via a LAN, WAN or the Internet can use FileReplicationPro.

FRP allows a user to move, copy, and synchronize directories and files by creating jobs. A job is a listing of the source path, destination path and the file operation you want to perform such as copy, move, two way sync or one way sync.

Once you create a job, you can create a schedule for the job. Schedules range from immediate, run once at a particular time, run on an interval or run continuously. Schedules can be quite complex and flexible.

Advanced features such as filters to include or exclude, bandwidth throttling, and initialization procedures to comply with firewall rules are also available.

FRP is a "set it and forget it" operation. Once you configure it, the engine will continue working under the hood. It creates summary and detail log files which are configurable and marks each success and failure. Email alerts are available to monitor that jobs are running correctly.

FileReplicationPro provides a lot of value at a reasonable cost. Our licensing scheme is simple and provides all the features for one price. You get multi-threading, bit level replication, real-time OS hooks, bandwidth throttling and auto-detection all for one low price. New features are always being added and those come free if you purchase the maintenance and support bundle.

What makes FileReplicationPro Smart ?
FRP allows any computer connected to any network to replicate, synchronize or backup to any other computer.

FRP recognizes that although you may be managing dozens of computers, chances are you are not physically in front of them all. It therefore provides centralized management and monitoring points.

All server and job definitions and all their logs and status information are available centrally. This way the administrator is always in control no matter where the physical server are located.

FRP is smart about what it copies, optimizing data transmission to better support the needs of data intensive mission critical environments

FRP uses differential replication skipping the files that haven't changed since the last replication. If a file has changed, it uses bit-level comparison technologies to only transfer over the portions of the file that have changed.

The transmitted data is zipped on the fly, to minimize network traffic, and is optionally encrypted, to maximize security. And, if you are using the real time option, it has operating system hooks that inform FRP within milliseconds of a file addition, deletion or change. This is very useful when you have hundreds of thousands of files you need to keep in sync.

FRP is truly versatile. It works in your environment, whatever that may be. From the ability to copy from Windows to Linux, Novell and Mac OS X, it . And as long as you are on the same TCP/IP network - anywhere on the Internet, FRP will work for you.

FRP doesn't just copy files, it also copies the permissions from both Windows and Unix computers. In Mac OS X it copies the files' resource forks as well. FRP makes sure you get the complete file you need with all its associated permissions.

For the advanced user, we have include and exclude file name filters, and firewall friendly ports and ip addressing so that you can get the files you need where ever you may need them. And if there is a problem, FRP will retry for you and pick off from where it left off. You always have a log and the ability to be alerted via email.

What makes FileReplicationPro Easy ?

During installation and configuration on a local network, FRP really shines. By using multicasting, FRP can detect its own installations. This means that if you install FRP on 2 or 20 computers in the same network, all of them will show up on a single configuration screen with no additional work required.

You can immediately begin setting up jobs and schedules. You don't even have to know their IP addresses. This is the type of ease of use that makes FRP stand out.

And then during configuration, everything is intuitive. Because all the servers have already been automatically detected, you simply have to provide the source and destination directory information. Add a schedule to the job and then watch the status to see how it performs.

Once you are satisfied, simply walk away and let FRP do all the work. If a job fails, or a transfer was incomplete, you'll get an alert email, and then you come back to a central management console where all log and status information, for all servers is at your fingertips.

With FRP, there is no confusion and no confusing configuration parameters. It's simple. Any computer on any operating system over any network and anyone can use it. It's really that easy.

What makes FileReplicationPro Secure ?

FileReplicationPro takes security very seriously and has created a number of safeguards to ensure that your files are secure.

If you choose to encrypt your file transmission, we use the Advanced Encryption Standard at 128 bit. This is the Federal information processing standard for advanced encryption used by US Government organizations to protect sensitive information.

For two computers to participate in the replication they must exchange and match encrypted licenses. All licenses are embedded and encrypted within the software. This prevents an untrusted server from participating in the replication.

In addition, FRP will only transfer data in the context of pre-configured scheduled jobs from "known" servers and will reject any "open-ended" communications attempt.

FRP runs in the application layer (although it functions as a service) and is subject to the security framework of its host server. In addition, we also allow the owner of each and every server that participates in the replication to set a replication password, if he so chooses to control replication access to the servers.

The configuration console pages are also password protected. This password ensures that the administrator is the only one with access to the jobs and schedules.

By using Java based FileReplicationPro running as a pure TCP/IP application instead of a Windows based solution, you are also eliminating many known and unknown risks. Shared folders and Windows Networking are well known for their vulnerabilities.

FileReplicationPro offers several state of the art technologies to ensure the security of your replication, synchronization and backup.
