Google Ads suggested that I get GoodSync, which looks like it should be able to do what Acronis True Image 2020 Standard can't. Is there any chance that Acronis might make this feature available for 2021 or 2022? Otherwise I might have to get a different payware solution. I tried out FreeFileSync 10 and Microsoft SyncToy 2, but I found both of those applications too difficult to use and automate.

But I am posting to the forum here again because I would really like to see Acronis make a feature available on ATI Standard to sync/mirror/echo individual folders and files between offline drives.

Otherwise, I've been pretty happy with the performance of ATI 2019 Standard, and would like to upgrade to ATI 2020 Standard. I like the TIB (TIBX) archives to make sector-by-sector backups of my internal hard disks and system partitions, but I don't really need TIBs for files saved on external drives (like photos). I also can't use ATI 2019 Standard to just copy the files by themselves (to create a mirror directory) without using a TIB archive. And, all of that with cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux available for free. So for example, I can't copy 3 TB of files from an external 4-TB drive to different external 4-TB drive. FreeFileSync is a pretty underrated folder comparison and sync tool available for Linux users who utilize Google Drive, SFTP, or FTP connections along with separate storage locations for backup.

I just signed up for the free 30-day trial of Acronis True Image 2020, so don't know yet if this issue has been fixed, but one problem with Acronis True Image 2019 is that if the backup drive doesn't have up to twice the storage space needed for the backup, the backup will fail. I don't want any cloud-based synchronization tools. That way I can have a backup of my files on a secondary offline drive. Doesn't need to be real-time, but like at least once a week would be good. I really need a way to automatically sync/mirror/echo files between offline local drives.

Is n’t that exciting? In the comments below, let me know what you think of FreeFileSync.I posted about this last year with Acronis True Image 2019 Standard, but unfortunately still doesn't look to be possible with Acronis True Image 2020 Standard. Moreover, all these features provide free cross-platform support for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Therefore, if you make any changes on the source / target folders, the modifications will be synchronized.įor more advanced usage, it is recommended that you refer to document Available.Īnother open source file synchronization tool is Syncthing you may want to check.įreeFileSync is a fairly underestimated folder comparison and synchronization tool for Linux users who use Google Drive, SFTP or FTP connections and separate storage locations for backup. One left “Bidirectional” synchronization method It can detect changes on the source and target folders (instead of just monitoring the source folder). So here, if you delete something from the source, that content will also be deleted from the destination folder. If you want the destination folder to have the same file copy of the same folder, you can choose “mirror” Synchronously. Therefore, even if you delete something from the source folder, it will not be deleted from the destination folder. When you choose “Update” method for synchronization, It just copies the new data from the source folder to the destination folder. On the right, you need to adjust the type of synchronization to be performed. You can choose a local folder or cloud storage location.Īfter completing this operation, you need to adjust the type of folder comparison (usually file time and size) to be performed during the synchronization process. As you can see in the screenshot above, you only need to select the source and target folders to be synchronized.
