#SYNCOVERY FREE MAC#

I previously used some command-line rsync aliases for this. I have been using Syncovery for a few years now (originally in its former incarnation as Super Flexible File Synchronizer) to syncronize folders between three Macs (home, office, laptop). Licensing is per user and not per machine so you can use Syncovery on several machines (not simultaneously within a LAN) if you own more than one Mac. Licensing is complex but bearable (versions, platforms, upgrades all calculate out via some pretty bizarre formulas but which do reward past investment in Syncovery software).

Both have their place in a power user's toolbox. SuperDuper! is my easy tool for reliable bootable backups in a simple attractive package. The interface dismays me less over time as it's clear that offering this kind of power and making it visible to the end user has aesthetic consequences. Ugly yes, but Syncovery is powerful magic.

Drastically takes the complexity and high costs out of server backup if you have a strong internet connection (what office doesn't these days).Īlso works great for dealing with local Mac photo collections to sync changes two way if necessary (editing on two different Macs before resyncing - don't do this, but if you do, Syncovery has your back).

If you're not aware of it, you can use Syncovery to effectively incrementally backup entire servers daily to local with a spare Mac Mini.
