SyncDir/SyncBack

SyncDir

SyncDir is a tool I wrote to synchronize two directory trees. It has a number of options to only do updates, mirror, just compare, and a few others. It is designed to be fast and efficient. It's functionality is similar to rsync. Below are the list of options:

SyncDir v2.6.2 - mikeh@mindspring.com
 Usage: syncdir {src_tree} {dest_tree} [-fmusqdci]
   -f : do not wait for verification
   -s : skip crossing of file system boundaries
   -u : only update newer/missing files {default}
   -m : mirror directories/files exactly (cannot be used with -u)
   -d : show differences only, do not update/change anything
   -q : quiet mode, show no output
   -c : compare regular file contents not just timestamps
   -i : include .snapshot directories
   -l : follow symlinks for initial arguments

More information can be read on the SyncDir README file. Also see the ChangeLog for a list of changes from previous versions.

Current version: syncdir-2.6.2.tar.gz

SyncBack Backup Suite

The SyncDir Backup Suite is a simple backup/synchronization suite that I wrote in my spare time, mainly as an experiment. It is based on the SyncDir code (included, but released seperately as well). It is composed of 6 utilities: syncback, syncbatch, syncrest, syncxpire, synclist, and syncdir. It is not intended as an enterprise level backup suite, but is vaguely similar to rdiff-backup (http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/) in concept. Basically, it creates a mirror of a directory tree, and then subsequent executions archive only changed versions of the files. See the README file for more information.
Current version is 1.2.1
