Download SmartSync Pro User`s Manual

How the program defines files to be backed up / synchronized?
First, SmartSync Pro builds a list of files in both Source and Destination folders, using the
criteria, set up in Include and Exclude files windows. Then the two lists are compared, and three
variants are possible:
1. If a file is present in Source directory and missing in Destination directory, then that file is
New.
2. If a file is present in Destination directory and missing in Source folder, that file is Obsolete
(unmatched). If you have checked the option “Delete Obsolete Files from Destination”, then that
file will be deleted.
3. If a file is present in both directories, then you can choose a compare method (Profile
Properties | Copy Options | Compare Method) to know if a file is to be copied.
At Remote synchronization, as there is no access to files, the information about files is
transmitted within the package.
