When I first discovered DSynchronize I could not believe that I never heard of this application before. This is probably the easiest way to synchronize files and folders in Windows. The software has a size of 161 Kilobyte and can be run from any location of your hard drive without having to install it.
The main program window is actually the only window of the program. You can add source files and folders on the left side and their destination on the right. Several options are available to define the synchronization further. You can opt to only sync newer files, create folders if they are not existing, use a bidirectional synchronization, exit or shutdown at the end and to reduce disk fragmentation by deleting files before replacing them.
Dsynchronize has a build in scheduler with several options. Users can choose to synchronize in intervals of x hours / minutes, synchronize every day, specify week days or days of the month. A real time (experimental) feature is available as well which synchronizes as soon as changes are made to files and folders specified.
Dsynchronize is compatible to Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT and Windows Vista and available in English, German, Italian and Korean.

I find that backup-and-sync problem is very complicated. Sometimes you want backup, sometimes sync, sometimes both, sometimes real-time monitoring…
So I use some utilities (SyncBack, FileHamster, Abakt), looking for more (tried about 10 another, but all of them was about “just grab and zip”), and don’t expect find app what can meet all my demands.
I even learned TortoiseSVN, – but it’s rather cumbersome, and good only for special needs.
Well, Dsynchronize is a brilliant backup program and I am using it on a regular basis for backing up my files, documents and portable Firefox profile data. I would say that it is most practical to use and I am saying it after trying a dozen or so synchronization programs/utilities. If you want a backup solution then Areaca is probably a better solution which supports incremental backups and many other desirable features.
I’m definitely going to give this program a try. I’ve been looking for a way to sync files between my vista pc, ubuntu pc, xp laptop, and remote server for a while now.. I don’t think this will do everything but it’ll at least give me something else to try =]
Can you tell me why everytime I decide for a new topic to write on, you just come along with something like that? Darn! *g*
HI,
Tried dsynchronise on vista.
Worked fine initially.
But now it always an error message
“Dsincronizza has stopped working”
“windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”
Anybody similar experiences?

I would like to inform You all about the new version of Folder Replica and i hope You will find the time to try it out. It is a hybrid folder synchronization utility that does:
* Advanced backup between folders without re-copy of existing files
* Folder synchronization
* Deletion of duplicate files within single folder or between folders
* Compare and Copy missing files between folders
* CRC file check between two folders
* Multiple synchronization jobs in task list
* Scheduled Jobs
