    DSynchronize is a freeware program that synchronizes directories on a local network by comparing files and folders in a source and destination, then changing the destination to match the source. It supports Windows Vista, 2003, XP, 2000, and NT4, with options like saving settings, reducing disk fragmentation, setting synchronization on a timer, shutting down after syncing, creating nonexistent folders, and adding a date stamp to destination files. The program uses minimal resources and can sync bidirectionally, in real-time by continuously monitoring for changes, or via command line parameters.

    DSynchronize Coded By Dimitrios Coutsoumbas (Dimio)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The current version is found to the following Link:
    Home: "http://dimio.altervista.org/"

    DESCRIPTION:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    DSynchronize is a program (Freeware) that syncronizes two or more directories on
    a local area network.
    The program compares every directory "Source" with the respective "Destination",
    then changes the "Destination" (adding, replacing, or deleting files and subdir
    ectory) in such way to make those files or subdirectories identical to the "Sour
    ce." It supports multiple filters (separated by "; ") type *.exe; *.txt etc.
    You can configure synchronizations to use Varying environments (% WINDIR%,% USER
    PROFILE% etc.).
    The use is rather intuitive.

    SUPPORTED SYSTEMS:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Windows
    Windows
    Windows
    Windows
    Windows

    VISTA
    2003
    XP
    2000
    NT4 with SP6a and IE4 or superior.

    OPTIONS:
    ~~~~~~~~
    "Save on exit"
    It serves for saving all the settings and remembering which directories to synch
    ronize.
    "Antifragmentation"
    It reduces the fragmentation of the disk: In order to prevent holes in the file
    structure when a file is replaced, the old file is first removed from the struct
    ure and then the replacement file is written into the old file's place.
    "Set/Enable timer"
    This option sets the synchronization to run on a regular basis. You can tell it
    how much time to wait between synchronizations in terms of hours and minutes. Y
    ou can also specify certain days that you would like synchronization to occur or
    a specific time to sync on the days specified.
    "Shutdown at the end"
    This option will automatically shut down the PC at the end of the synchronizatio
    n.
    "You create folder if it does not exist"
    If the specified directory does not exist on the destination, it will automatica
    lly be created there with the same name as the source directory.

    "Add date to destination folder"


    This option add the date to files on the destination. For example, if the sourc
    e file x is ". C:\mapindestination" it becomes "C:\mapindestination 18-07-2004 2
    2.30", this can be used for creating multiple Backup using a time stamp to tell
    the difference among them.
    "Only newer files"
    Replaces files in "Destination" only if the file in "Origin" is more recent.
    "Set Idle priority"
    Set the process priority to the minimum possible on the system. This is unneces
    sary as DSynchronize already uses very few resources. Using this option will ca
    use synchronization to be slower.
    "Bidirectional syncronization"
    This allows the most recent files in both locations to be copied to the other.
    Each file is checked in the source and the destination folders and the most rece
    nt file is copied to both locations. The source and destination should be ident
    ical after synchronizing.
    "Real-Time Sync"
    It continuously monitors the specified folders (This uses very little CPU) for c
    hanges that occur in the origin and to relay accordingly any changes made to the
    destination.
    Before activating this option it is important to complete a normal synchronizati
    on. In fact the function of this option is to maintain two identical file sets
    from the start.
    "Autostart"
    This automatically starts the program when Windows boots up with the last option
    s you saved.
    If the synchronization is on a timer, it will occur as scheduled, otherwise the
    otherwise the synchronization will immediately happen.
    "Autostart as service"
    This automatically starts the program as a service when Windows boots up.
    It is possible to specify the account with which under which the program will ru
    n. It is important to verify that the account specified has sufficient privilag
    es to access both the source and destination directories.
    The other options explain themselves: -)

    PARAMETERS OF THE COMMAND LINE


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    It is possible to specify some parameters on the command line.
    /START
    It immediately starts the synchronization (with the last saved options).
    /MINIMIZED
    It starts DSynchronize minimized in the System Tray.
    /HIDDEN
    It starts DSynchronize in the background without even displaying the icon in the
    Task Bar.

    /NOSECURITYCHECK
    Before effecting the synchronization, it doesn't check if they are possessed or
    I lead the permissions of lettura/scrittura on the briefcases. In fact, In some
    rare case, it seems that the security check also prevents the synchronization on
    briefcases on which such permissions are possessed, for which, to select the op
    tion aforesaid, it allows to also operate normally in that particular cases.
    /SOMEFILE.INI
    It uses a specific file INI to control the synchronization. This file must be on
    same directory of DSynchronize.

    NOTES ON THE SYNCHRONIZATION IN REAL-TIME:


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    HOW THIS WORK:
    The program monitors all the changes in the status of Origin and, every 10 secon
    ds, reflects the same changes in the Destination.
    It then waits some 10 seconds which has the purpose of avoiding an useless consu
    mption of processor, in fact, if a file is modified twice in 10 seconds, It will
    only be copied once, which reduces two fold the consumption of processor.
    POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
    It's normal that, during the synchronization in Real-Time, in the log window, so
    me operations show negative result (FAILED or LOCKED), this doesn't determine an
    omalies in the synchronization.
    For instance, if you have created a file that will be deleted then in turn be re
    place in the matter of a second, when the program tries to syncronize it will pr
    oduce two errors while in reality everything is OK. In fact the first thing the
    program will try to do is copy a nonexistent file, and then will try to delete t
    hat file.
    The synchronization in Real-Time is considered experimental. In fact there exist
    some rare conditions that can cause failures in the synchronization. You are re
    commended therefore, if this option is used, to periodically effect also of the
    normal synchronizations.
