The end-goal is to make sure that the selected folders on computers and/or drives have the same, most current files. ViceVersa is used to synchronize files to NAS devices.
Synchronization between computers and NAS. ViceVersa is used to synchronize files to USB devices. Synchronization between computers and external (USB) drives. ViceVersa is used to synchronize files over VPN. Computers can be laptops, desktops, workstation, servers. Synchronization between computers connected to the Internet (WAN).

Selected folders across computers are shared, using Windows File Sharing, and synchronized using ViceVersa. Computers can be laptops, desktops, workstations, servers. Synchronization between computers connected to the local network (LAN). as soon as file changes are detected), at startup or at shutdown. Monday and Friday at 7:00), real-time (i.e. every 10 mins, every 2 hours, etc.), scheduled (i.e. Show Meįile synchronization can be run automatically, without user intervention, at intervals (i.e. ViceVersa will compare and analyze the files and folders in two or more locations and show you the files side-by-side, with all the changes that happened since last synchronization clearly marked. With ViceVersa you can synchronize files visually.
#FILE SYNCHRONIZATION NETWORK PRO#
ViceVersa PRO supports several One-Way and Two-Way Synchronization methods: see List of File Synchronization, Backup and Replication Methods Supported by ViceVersaĪbout Visual Synchronization (Side-by-Side) But a file deleted in Location B is restored using the file in Location A. Similarly, if a file is deleted from Location A, it will be deleted from Location B. But if a file is newer in Location B, it will NOT be copied to Location A. This is very useful and effective for backup purposes since only changed/new files are copied.Įxample: If a file is newer in Location A (Source), it will be copied to Location B (Target). This creates an exact 1:1 replica of all files in Source to Target. Files are pushed from Source to Target (or files are pulled from Source to Target, but always in one direction only). Source is said to be mirrored to Target. O ne location is considered the Source and the other is considered the Target. The two locations are not considered equivalent. To reconcile the changes, the synchronization process copies files only in one direction. file mirroring / file replication / file backup):įiles are expected to change in one location only. Similarly, if a file is deleted from Location A, it will be deleted from Location B as well and vice versa. But if a file is newer in Location B it will be copied to Location A. The two locations are considered equivalent.Įxample: if a file is newer in Location A, it will be copied to Location B. Files are expected to change in both locations. This synchronization process copies files in both directions to reconcile changes as needed.
bi-directional synchronization or both-ways synchronization): Synchronization can be “ two-way” or “ one-way”. If you add, change, or delete a file from one location, the synchronization process will add, change, or delete the corresponding file at the other location. File Sync) is the process of ensuring that two or more locations contain the same, up-to-date, files. About Synchronization (One-Way,Two-Way), Backup and Replicationįile Synchronization (a.k.a.
