SysSync works by comparing all files in the two selected locations. If the source file has a later date than the same file in the target the target file is overwritten. Optionally SysSync can also delete any files found in the target that are no longer present on the source (ie. they have presumably been deleted). Again optionally SysSync can also add new files in the source that are not present on the target. In other words SysSync will automatically, with just a couple of mouse clicks, ensure your target location is completely synchronised with your source location.                                                                                SysSync can be used to synchronise something like a laptop with a main system across a network or it can just as easily be used to synchronise or back up any two locations across a network or even on the same computer.

Key features of SysSync:

• Simple user interface
  One of the main goals in the design of SysSync is to make the user interface as simple and easy to use as possible.

• Quick and easy
  Browse to two separate locations and then synchronise in either direction.

• Location memory
  SysSync remembers the last five locations used and more in profiles.

• Profiles
  SysSync can save profiles of all synchronisation settings. These profiles can be double clicked, automatically running the synchronisation with no further input required. Batch Files
  Run a sequence of profiles in a batch using the simple batch file mechanism (not to be confused with the DOS batch files). As with profiles the batch files can be auto-run.

• Log Files
  Synchronisation results can be output to simple text log files allowing later viewing with a simple editor like Notepad. This can be particularly useful if using batch files.

• Complete folder hierarchies
  With the check sub-folder option SysSync will synchronise an entire folder hierarchy in one go.

• Time or Size
  You choose whether to compare files based on time (the default) or size. The latter can be more suitable if the system clocks are not reliable.

• Silent Mode
  Run synchronisations in silent mode and no report dialogs will be presented and no further input will be required from you. Best used in association with Log Files.

• Modify read only files
  Option to allow overwriting and deleting of read only files (assuming you have the necessary authority).

• Configurable
  Overwrite updated files and optionally have it add new files and delete removed ones. Create lists of files that are to be excluded from the synchronisation.

• Familiar file browsing dialogs
  SysSync file browsing is done with familiar Explorer style dialogs with a folder tree in the left pane and a list of folder contents in the right pane.

• Synchronisation report
  A simple report summary is always displayed with a button to view a more detailed report and another to view any problems that have occurred during the synchronisation (this only appears if there were problems). See also Log Files above.

• Help
  A full and thorough help is provided. All features of the program are completely covered and clearly explained.
