Backing up data is the most efficient way to avoid losing important files. With the right application, you will always have spare copies of your files, even if you forget to back them up. Create Synchronicity can back up any data and keep your folders synchronized. It supports three synchronization methods and it places a good number of options at your disposal. A key feature is the fact that Create Synchronicity is lightweight and very easy to use. The installed application takes up less than one MB of your free disk space.

The application is free and open source. It is compatible with all modern Windows versions and you can install it almost instantly. Also, there is no need to prepare any prerequisite tools or services and you won't notice any significant impact on your computer's performance.

Create Synchronicity allows you to define one or more synchronization profiles and run them manually or according to a schedule. Created profiles are displayed on a compact user interface, on which you can also view their properties, in a table of contents. Selecting a profile will reveal a series of options, for running or previewing the profile, changing its properties or schedule and more.

New profiles can be created on a separate window. The necessary configurations can be made without any effort, even by inexperienced users. Specifying a source and a destination is sufficient to make the profile work, but you can make other settings as well. The application allows you to choose an incremental synchronization, in one or both directions, if you wish to back up new or modified files, without overwriting the old ones. Alternatively, you can opt for a mirror synchronization. If you delete or modify data in the source folder and run a mirror synchronization task, the same actions will be performed in the destination folder. It is also possible to enable a strict mirror synchronization, to revert any changes you make in the destination folder.

Besides selecting source and destination folders, you can also choose which sub-folders should be included in the synchronization process, on the same configurations window. Furthermore, the application allows you to set up filters, if you wish to include or exclude files with specific names or extensions. Synchronization profiles can be scheduled on a different window. Create Synchronicity can be set to back up your files automatically, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, at a specific time of the day.

Pros

You can define one or more synchronization profiles without any kind of difficulties. The application allows you to choose between three synchronization methods. It is also possible to schedule synchronization tasks to run automatically.

Cons

The possibility of setting up real-time synchronization profiles would be a welcome feature. While using Create Synchronicity, you can forget all about backing up your files manually, because everything will be done automatically, according to your own preferences.
