FolderClone Professional Edition Overview



FolderClone is beneficial to individual users, small businesses (SOHO), and large corporations. Individual users will find it essential for backing up their data files and/or synchronizing their laptops to their desktops, to external drives, or to cloud storage providers. For large enterprises and small businesses alike, FolderClone is part of the network infrastructure needed to maintain high file availability, protect your files, and share files throughout your organization.



FolderClone arranges your backup jobs in sets of “tasks”. A task is a set of specifications which tells FolderClone what files/folders you want to copy, where you want them copied, and how often you want this done. Once configured, the software compares the “source” folder against the “target” folder at the user-defined time intervals. Changes or additions to the source folder are copied to the target folder. Items which exist on the target folder but not on the source folder are deleted. (Optionally, you can turn off file deletions). This process runs automatically in the background with no further user interaction required.



FolderClone is not intended to back up complete systems, including operating system files and installed applications. Its primary use is to back up data files that would be irreplaceable should a disaster occur.
