FolderClone 2.1.0

Schedule automated folder cloning tasks and customized data backup actions

FolderClone is designed to provide fast, flexible and easy  synchronization, backup, mirroring and replication tasks for your important files.

FolderClone can work with your local hard drives or you can schedule backup to external storage devices, such as removable drives or flash memory cards.

FolderClone arranges your synchronization needs in sets of "tasks". A task is a set of specifications that tells FolderClone what files/folders you want to be copied, where you want them copied, and how often you want this done.

Once configured, FolderClone monitors the "source" folders for changes or updates and copies new or changed files to the "target". This process runs automatically in the background without any further user-interaction required.

Main features:

    Easy to use, Interface for simple creation and maintenance of synchronization tasks.
    Four file comparison methods: Date/Time, Size, Contents, and CRC32
    Uni-directional synchronization, replication, mirroring of data from Source folder to Target Folder
    One-to-many synchronization is supported. One Source folder may be synchronized with multiple Target folders.
    Uses native operating system APIs for scanning directories and copying files for optimum performance.
    Assembly Language routines are also utilized for blazingly fast execution.
    File copy only occurs if target files are actually different than the matching source file, reducing file transfer requirements.
    Multiple Copy Options: Including the ability to maintain the source file's create time stamp, and a Safe Copy option which ensures that the target file is not deleted unless the copy operation is successful.
    Loads at Windows Startup and resides in the System Tray
    Interval options include: Manual, Every Few Minutes, Every Few Hours, Every Few Days, Only On Selected Days, First Day of Month, and Last Day of Month.
    Can Ignore the FAT/NTFS time stamp issues of "2 second difference" and "daylight savings time difference"
    All synchronization activity and errors are logged. Or optionally, only errors are logged.
    Log size limit can be determined by user
    Scheduled synchronizations can be paused
    Folders can be compared and an HTML-formatted report generated
    Batch execution of multiple synchronization tasks in a user specified order
    Password protection is available for Administrators

Dup Scout Pro 7.0.14

Powerful, fast and intuitive duplicate files finder utility

Dup Scout Pro is an application designed to help you remove all duplicate files from your disks, network locations and network-attached storage devices.

The software comes with a clean, easy to use interface. It allows you to choose the areas where you want the software to search for copied files, with four default settings: directories, all local disks, servers and NAS devices and all servers on the network.

You can further customize your search by excluding particular directories or sub-folders. By default, the tool ignores system folders (such as Windows and Program Files).

After the search is complete, which has a duration proportional with the amount of data that needs to be processed, the app lists the duplicate files and allows you to sort the list by various parameters; these include creation time, file size and type.

The range of actions that can be used on the duplicates includes replacing them with shortcuts, hard links, moving the files to a user-defined directory, compressing or deleting them. Dup Scout Pro also allows you to create ignore lists for locations that should be exempt from the search.

Customization of the application allows you to set it to turn itself off upon successful completion of the tasks as well as enable the recursive detection. You can also set up shortcuts for easy handling with the keyboard.

Testing showed an accurate selection of duplicate files and an effective application of the selected actions even if the files were placed in various folders over the drive.

All in all, Dup Scout Pro is a user-friendly piece of software, cleanly designed, that helps you claim free space on your computer or network. However, despite the fact that it looks easy to use, it was not created with first-time users in mind.

TeraCopy 2.3

A free utility designed to copy/move files faster and more secure.

TeraCopy is a nifty little utility that speeds up the copying process of data between directories, physical hard drives or over the network. 

When it moves files, it skips bad sectors and reports these errors at the end of the operation. You can also access it via the Windows Explorer context menu. If you prefer to do it over its interface, the only way to add files is by drag and drop. Multiple items can be loaded by selecting them while holding the ‘Ctrl’ key and dropping them into TeraCopy’s GUI.

If you click the "More" button, you can also see the size and status of each file found in the respective folder, and whether it was successfully copied or not.

Our test was made with a 9.89GB folder (let the record show we installed the software on Windows 7). TeraCopy managed to copy it in 10 minutes and 47 seconds, and the status for each file read “Ok”. The speed is outstanding and it suffices to say that it outgrows Windows’ native tool.

What we noticed about TeraCopy and is worth telling is the fact that Windows' normal copy, move and paste functions are overwritten by TeraCopy’s commands during its deployment. That means that you are no longer able to use Windows’ built-in Cut / Copy / Paste, because these have been replaced by TeraCopy.

If you wish to revert to Windows’s original functions regarding the copying / moving data process, the only solution is to uninstall TeraCopy.

All in all, TeraCopy makes quite the file mover. On the upside, it’s faster that Windows’ native tool, but on the downside, it replaces the system’s original commands for Copy / Move operations.

TeraCopy is a free utility designed to copy/move files faster and more secure. Can resume broken file transfers.

TeraCopy skips bad files during copy and even shows the skipped files at the end of files transfer.

TeraCopy will calculate files CRC checksum on the fly to speed up source and target files comparsion. Seamless integration with Windows Explorer allows you to keep working with files as usual.

Copy or move files using left mouse button drag or 'Copy' and 'Paste' commands.

Note: Free for personal use only!

Here are some key features of "TeraCopy":

• Copy files faster: TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives.
• Pause and resume file transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click.
• Error recovery: In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skip the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
• Interactive file list: TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files.
• Shell integration: TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual.
• Full Unicode support.

What's New in This Release:  

• minor bugfixes
• UI improvements
• big files fragmentation should be lower
