Developer’s Description

By Canopus-Ware

Mirror your selected backup folders.

Backup Folder Sync is a backup and restore utility. Using just a click of the mouse you can quickly include or exclude drives, folders and files, and save them as backup jobs. When you execute BFS subsequently only files that have changed since the last backup are copied. Also if you delete any folders or file in the source these items are also deleted in the backup destination set. This means that if you ever had to restore a folder, the content would not have any old deleted files in them. Backup selections can be saved in backup jobs so that you do not need to re-select. Included and excluded items are shown using colored icons in the directory listings and can be changed by right clicking on a folder or file. The backup produces a report that details each file or folder that has been copied or deleted. You can backup to a local folder, external drive, USB stick, network share, or mapped drive and restore to the original or alternate folder. Backups can be scheduled.

EXCELLENT BUT....

Pros
Extremely simple to add/remove items to backup. Your first backup takes the usual long time but after that subsequent backups are done in just a few minutes, because BFS only copies files that have changed. For example, you've added some new photos, BFS only copies those and not the older ones all over again.
Cons
There is one huge drawback. There is only one copy of the backup. Any files you delete from your machine, BFS deletes them from the next backup you do, so if you have unintentially deleted a file and don't realise till after you've run a backup, it is gone, you can't get it back. You could rename each backup until you've got 2 or 3 older copies (if you have room where you're storing them) but then each one will take a long time to complete again, plus you'll be forever maintaining the backup files instead of letting the software get on with it.
Summary
An easy to use and very fast backup tool, but it must be used with the above Con in mind.
