FreeFileSync – Compare and Sync Folders

FreeFileSync – Compare and Sync Folders: "

arrow Windows Windows only arrow

One thing I’ve never taken lightly is making sure all of my most important data is backed up. Utilities like SyncBack have served me well over the years, and I’ve even gone as far as to buy a copy of the software for my primary PC. For my other computers I switch on and off between other tools, and one of the more recent ones is FreeFileSync.




What makes FreeFileSync unique? It is focused on simplicity. It wants to make sure that you know what is getting backed up, and feel comfortable running the app without having to read a manual first. The interface is extremely clean and uses graphics that clearly represent the actions that will be taken. You’ll feel confident that you know what will happen when you hit the “synchronize” button.

Here’s a rundown on the features offered:

  • Compare files (bytewise or by date) and synchronize them
  • Network support
  • Built-in support for very long filenames (more than MAX_PATH = 260 characters)
  • Synchronization database for conflict detection
  • Full support for Windows/Linux Symbolic Links and Windows Junction Points
  • Lean & easily accessible UI: Highly optimized for speed and huge sets of data
  • Algorithms coded in C++
  • Support for filesizes larger than 4 GB
  • Option to move files to Recycle Bin instead of deleting/overwriting them
  • Delete before copy: Avoid disc space shortages for large sync-jobs
  • Filter functionality to include/exclude files from synchronization (without requiring a re-compare!)
  • Include/exclude specific files from synchronization temporarily
  • Create sync jobs via GUI to synchronize automatically (can be scheduled or executed via double-click)
  • Portable version available.
  • Native 64-Bit version
  • Copy locked files using Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service
  • Create regular backups with macros %time%, %date% within directory names
  • Copy file and folder create/access/modification times when synchronizing

One of the things I know some people worry about is accidentally having files removed due to how the synchronization is set up. Not to worry. You might have noticed in the list above that one of the options is to send any file that is supposed to be deleted (or overwritten) straight to the Recycle Bin so that they can always be recovered. FreeFileSync is worry-free synchronization at its finest.

Favigen, Favicon Generator

Favigen, Favicon Generator : " Favicons are small icons that help identify websites. They are used as a visual representation of a website both in the web browser and at many online services. The three most prominent locations of favicons are the browser’s address bar, the tabbar and the bookmarks folder. Many webmasters like to create custom favicons to add that custom identifier to their website. Favicons can be created in many image and icon editors, but also online. Favigen is a straightforward favicon generator that can turn an image into a favicon. All that it takes is to pick an image from the local hard drive first, select the dimensions of the favicon and click the submit button to make the service generate the favicon. Favigen supports several image formats, including jpg and png, and it does not seem to have size restrictions either. Available image dimensions range are 16×16, 32×32 and 64×64. The generated favicon is displayed directly on the page. A click on do...

A simple rsync script to back up your home directory

A simple rsync script to back up your home directory : " Backing up important data is obviously something we should all do. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to make it happen. We get lazy; we do not have the additional hardware for a backup server; it takes a long time and a lot of CDs to back up to optical media; we do not trust online backup services; backup schemes are difficult to set up and use — any of dozens of reasons can stand in our way. Still, we know we should be backing up our important data. Modern open source Unix-like operating systems offer a plethora of options for incredibly simple, effective backup schemes, however. If the problem is figuring out how to set one up, a simple rsync solution may be exactly what you need. The rsync utility is used to synchronize files between two systems. It does so by way of incremental copies, only copying from the source to the destination what has not already been copied there, saving time, network bandwidth, and syst...
