SyncToy synchronization or automatic backup for files and folders - video tutorial

Hi friends, in this video tutorial we will talk about SyncToy application, this folder synchronization software is produced by Microsoft and does not cost anything, anyone can download from Microsoft's website or on videotutorial.ro at end of text Introductory video tutorial above.

SyncToy helps us to synchronize folders in different locations on your hard drive or hard drives of our computer, for example you want to NCR all the documents you save on your desktop or in My Documents with SyncToy is very easy to make that, even more, it can schedule automatic synchronization at intervals that Schedueled using Tasks in Windows XP, Vista or 7.

Synchronizing data from certain folders puts important files in storage, so our data will be safe because it is in two different places, it is ideal to use different hard drives (if possible) to prevent total data loss important in case of a hardware error (hard disk failure), I actually went through such an experience some time ago and please believe me that it is not at all pleasant to lose in a second data that you worked on for months or personal archives of digital photographs collected over the years.

SyncToy application is very easy to use, do not think that will pose problems even for beginners, but instead have to be very careful when choosing the sync option, these options are three in number and do the same thing at first, but if you are careful you will notice that differ in how the application behaves according to the option chosen, these options are:

1. Synchronize. This option synchronizes folders in both directions, you put the left goes right and vice versa, the same is true when you delete or rename a folder or file in the right or left, the same thing happens automatically in the other.

2. Echo. This synchronization is done from left to rights only if you add a file folder on the left it will automatically add the folder to the right, the same as deleting or renaming, if you delete or rename the left and it will happen-n right. Warning, if you add a file in the right folder, it will not go on the left, de-also if I delete or rename the right, the left will not happen anything, that synchronization is only from left to right.

3. Contribute. In this case it looks like setting "Echo" except for the deletion, that everything goes add the left and right, the same as renaming, deleting only difference is, that if you delete something from the left to the right will not wash off. If you add something or delete something right nothing happens on the left, that synchronization is only from left to right, right to left nothing works.

You specified something, I determine the folder that will be the left and right, you'll understand better after watching the tutorial video, whatever your partition layout or folders in My Computer, right or left folders you set them in SyncToy application wizard.

I hope you find this program useful and do not forget, your opinions and your suggestions on the comments section.

Enjoy.                              SyncToy 2.0 DOWNLOAD

    The best solution in my opinion is backup. A friend of mine had bought not long ago brand new pc. I firstly I download ZoneAlarm at Paragon and after that I did a backup disk C. After several hours, began to annoy ZoneAlarm that bothered him at every step. A firewall uninstalled ter and put one in Win and put it up on their do windows update. When you open up the PC the next day sees Advandge's ready to detect. Then even caught very well that made me Bacup.
    PS and for me it was an important experience, I had not done restores to OS until then… 😉

    hello guys tutorial… I really needed something like that..I tried and I had no problems installing or synchronizing with synctoy exactly with said cristi..I am looking forward to the latest tutorials on how to make a site

  16. I know this is off-topic, but given recent one I thought him to suggest a video tutorial about VPN connections in XP, Vista, whatever, the more so as there is no one about something, website yours.

    It would be very useful, especially for those who use a computer - usually a laptop - on Wireless and connect frequently to hotspots (which are increasing in Romania, more and more) thus not having the guarantee of a connection sure, the internet. If it's possible…

  17. Congratulations for. Cristi this tutorial. It's kind of back-up instant

  18. Plan your trip Cristi tutorials how to be boring? Know that I prefer to revisit tutorials made by you than watch movies.

  20. adrian or crystals, nati want to do a tutorial on a virtual machine online, I found yesterday that g.ho.st, that linking where I found this, is analogous to the Vista interface, sre all the needs memory gives 15GB viortuala, you can watch movies on it there, you can uplodezi was donloadezi leai uplodat the files, you could do, is like a new operating sisitem, you want to make a tutorial?

  21. it has a browser, it has a kind of pidgin, for the table, you can listen to mp3 music, and if you give someone an invitation you get another 5 GB virtual memory bonus, and that operating system, you can access it wherever you are, I hope you gave us a good idea….

  22. Paul:'s Browser is a kind of pidgin for ESM mp3 can listen to music and if you receive an invitation from someone still 5 bonus GB virtual memory, and that sisitem deoperare, sal access wherever you are, I hope you gave VAM a good idea ....

    Paul, I also visited this site… in principle, it's an interesting thing but I asked myself a question: who guarantees us the security of the data that we will put (store) there?… It is just as true that we have to not to store some data (files) with confidential character or of a special importance… anyway it is something worth exploring, maybe you can enter the chat here and we are on vb on this topic, my user is ylye…

  23. Hello and congratulations for tutorial and for all make very good idea!
    More than 100 times I used the tutorials provided for me to build with certain programs (or problems)
    I have a small problem on the breaking of large hardware, are happened with 80 250 g g and all we (I lost everything) and give an idea blossomed thousand not know how I can achieve, I 2 main computer p4 / 1700 and secondary 2 p3 / 400 2 all internal network ip output and how I could make a pair synchronization between primary and secondary calc Thus incited mainly run on any date to be automatically transferred in real-time operating system including secondary but go and vice versa mention as soon equip all 4 with large hard drives 1000 g (1,5 terra) and me a strong fear of system failure or hard. (for this reason we delayed the provision of older drives do not guarantee long-term shows 5 -10 years, although I have a hard to 13g of 20 years go xp pro, 20 years!)
    In 2 words a kind of automatic bacup but between tracing and in the network - the small one being a miniature copy of the big one but without the possibilities of the big one with the exception of permanently interrogating the big one and taking his data and in case of system collapse and reinstall all queue head - (database)
    Once again congratulations for tutorials!
    Thank you very much in advance and send your

    Hello and congratulations.

    I have a nelemurire about this program.
    The program manages to do its job well but it can't or I didn't manage to back up the .PST (Outlook "Archive") file when Outlook is open. When it is closed, it is backed up.

    Do you have a solution to make this program and backup pst files when the program is open?

    Thank you very much

  25. Andrew SkinnerHi and felicitari.Am and I'll nelemurire about this program.
    Program fails to do its job well but we did not and I do backup files. PST ("Archive" Outlook's) when Outlook is open. When it's dark backup.Ai is somehow a solution to make this program and backup pst files when the program is open? Thank you very much

    All software backup recommend closing any applications you want to make back-up. For those software or files being use backup software may not work properly with them! It's like trying to change the wheel of a car while walking!

    I found Dropbox software http://www.dropbox.com which is similar to SyncToy.

    Sync your files online and across computers with Dropbox.

    Many PC users want to be able to access personal files regardless of where they are.
    Maybe you're tired you send email or many files always carry with you a USB stick with those files now importante.De free use Dropbox.

    Once you have installed on your computer, any files placed in the Dropbox folder is synced and available on other computers that have Dropbox. Also, any changes to a file in Dropbox is felt and available in other calculatoare.Programul is available for both MAC and Linux 10.4 +.

    Hello, I have a question about the program ...
    [First ad I'm talking about how Echo]
    For example, if I have in GB "s1" 140 GB of movies and only a text (I back them up on an external hard drive to "s1"), and then I delete that text from "s1" and only the movies remain… ..this program when I access it, will it only delete that text from “s2” and that's it, or will it start again with the backup? (that is, to start copying all the movies again, to make them full backup again at "s1") I don't know if I made too much sense, what I'm trying to ask is: Every time I access the program, in "s2" are small changes made that I have made in the meantime in "s1"? always when I access the program, does it delete everything in "s2" and start copying "s1" again? Because this is very important for me, it is a waste of time if he always deletes and copies again…. Thank you, I am waiting for an answer as soon as possible and… .Keep it the same, bravo !!!

Thanks, expect an answer soon and .... keep up the good work, bravo!  

      tutorial was clear as can be, most forgotten once to him to the end without scrolling if you still did not get the idea means you're dumb

  28. The 3 synchronization modes are explained in the text above tutorial, you read it?

  29. is it possible to program it in some way so that it automatically does this backup operation without me manually giving it a "Run"?

  30. It is not just about timing, but a kind of automatism as the timing. Moreover, it can be used in conjunction with the application of face even present.
    A progam that will automatically register Santa's movements and keyboard, then it will play, step by step exactly the operations you made.
    For example, log-area registered in an account with typing username, password. If you have multiple accounts, record for each account and thus do not have to sign in every time u redo steps browser and log areas for each account.
    The program is called "Mouse and Keyboard Recorder" and you can download it here.

  31. Thank you very much! I really was helpful!

  32. Hello. I would like to use the application at work. if I modify certain doc documents when I synchronize do you take into account that these files have been modified and rewrite them in the "right" part of your tutorial?

  33. Silvius said

    Howdy. Now I found this tutorial very interesting… I also ran into such a loss of files when the hard drive went… But let's move on to my question: can I sync a folder that has multiple subfolders? For example, for pictures am I have them in a folder called Pictures and inside I have other folders per year, and every year other subfolders with the date I took them (pictures). Thank you.
