SyncToy description
Provides synchronization of different directories

SyncToy is an easy to use, customizable utility that will help you move, copy, rename and delete files between computers and folders.

There are new sources of files coming from every direction: digital cameras, e-mail, cell phones, portable media players, camcorders, PDAs, and laptops. Increasingly, computer users are using different folders, drives, and even different computers (such as a laptop and a desktop) to store and retrieve files. Yet managing hundreds or thousands of files is still largely a manual operation.

SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.

Here are some key features of "SyncToy":

· Dynamic Drive Letter Assignment: Drive letter reassignment will now be detected and updated in the folder pair definition.
· True Folder Sync: Folder creates, renames and deletes are now synchronized for all SyncToy actions.
· Exclusion Filtering Based on Name: File exclusion based on name with exact or fuzzy matching.
· Filtering Based on File Attributes: The ability to exclude files based on one or more file attributes (Read-Only, System, Hidden).
· Unattended Folder Pair Execution: Addressed issues related to running scheduled folder pairs while logged off.
· Folder Pairs With Shared Endpoints: Ability for folder pairs associated with the same or different instances of SyncToy to share end-points.
· Command line enhancements: Added the ability to manage folder pairs via the command line interface.
· The SyncToy engine has been rearchitected to provide scalability and the ability to add significant enhancements in future releases.
· Sync engine is also more robust insomuch that many single, file level errors are skipped without affecting the entire sync operation.
· Sync Encrypted Files: Sync of Encrypted files works when local folder and files are encrypted, which addresses the common scenario involving sync between local, encrypted laptop PC folder and remote, unencrypted desktop PC folder.
· 64-Bit compatibility
· Folder pair rename
· Sub-folder Exclusion Enhancements: Descendents creates under excluded sub-folders are automatically excluded.
· Folder Pair Metadata Moved: Folder pair metadata removed from MyDocuments to resolve any issues with server-based folder pair re-direction setup.
· Removed combine and subscribe actions.
