Data synchronization

Nikita, 2016-02-03 08:33:19

Good afternoon. There is a laptop, a Keenetic Omni II router and an external hard drive connected to the router. Coming home from work, I want to automatically synchronize the files with which I worked during the day. Files:

source codes and project databases
design layouts
other files

For the designated purpose, I would like to find a tool that will merge changed files to an external drive in the background without manual launch. I liked BTSync, but I couldn't set it up to work with an external hard drive. What program would you recommend based on your experience?

And here the choice seems to me not very big. btsync and syncthing.

I solved the problem with the @MAX SyncUp program. Meets all requirements, flexible synchronization settings and additional features, such as backup. For some reason, there is little information about her in the Russian segment.

I tried both Btsync and Syncthing - the first one is slow like a tractor on the highway and the CPU loads, it used to be 100% ), the second one does not know how to proxy and is still damp (it's confusing, it's not clear with the settings, some do not work as expected. settings - darkness.)
I found a utility from Windows (I don’t remember the name, it’s too stupidly simple, I can’t customize it for myself)
I tried scripted rsync and nnbackup - I didn’t like everything. (and the interface))))
Stopped at www.FreeFileSync.org- free and great! the same goodies are present as above, the interface is on top, there is even a storage of PREVIOUS copies of files in any selected directory - i.e. fancy version control. The only thing in the program itself is that there is no scheduled launch, but this is for the best - I added the launch of FreeFileSync at night to the Windows schedule and forgot about the problems. Once a month I check the backup (by a stupid comparison of folders with files) - everything is ok.
