1 SyncBreeze Overview

SyncBreeze is a &owerf*l> easy2to2*se and fast file synchronization sol*tion allowing one to
synchronize files between dis!s> directories> networ! shares and 39S storage de,ices. 4sers
are &ro,ided the ability to config*re a n*mber of file synchronization commands> set*&
bac!gro*nd &eriodic and?or real2time file sync o&erations> sa,e file synchronization logs and
send 72#ail notifications when a file synchronization o&eration fails.

SyncBreeze &ro,ides m*lti&le one2way and two2way file synchronization modes> &eriodic file
synchronization> com&ressed file synchronization> bac!gro*nd file synchronization> real2time
file synchronization> an o&tion to synchronize s&ecific ty&es of files> an o&tion to excl*de
directories from the file synchronization &rocess and allows one to define m*lti&le
c*stomizable file synchronization commands ma!ing it ,ery sim&le to synchronize n*mero*s
dis!s> directories> networ! shares and 39S storage de,ices.

4sers are &ro,ided with the ability to synchronize files with &re,iew allowing one to
select?*nselect s&ecific file synchronization actions. 6n addition> SyncBreeze &ro,ides a stream
file synchronization mode> which synchronizes files on2the2fly witho*t showing the sync
&re,iew dialog allowing one to sync h*ge file systems containing tens of millions of files.

4
6n addition to the des!to& :46 a&&lication> &ower com&*ter *sers and 6' &rofessions are
&ro,ided with the SyncBreeze command line *tility> which can be *sed to sync directories
and?or exec*te &re2config*red file synchronization commands from shell scri&ts and batch
files. 'he command line *tility is a,ailable in SyncBreeze 4ltimate and SyncBreeze Ser,er and
it can be *sed to &erform file synchronization o&erations locally or control one or more
SyncBreeze Ser,ers thro*gh the networ!.

Finally> 6' and storage administrators are &ro,ided with two ser,er2based &rod*ct ,ersions>
SyncBreeze Ser,er and SyncBreeze 7nter&rise> which r*n in the bac!gro*nd as a ser,ice and

File synchronization with &re,iew is ,ery *sef*l &ro,iding the *ser with a list of files that

ineffecti,e or com&letely ina&&ro&riate when there is a need to synchronize large file systems
containing many tho*sands of files> es&ecially d*e to the fact that none will ha,e the ability to
man*ally re,iew lists of file synchronization actions containing tho*sands of items.

SyncBreeze &ro,ides a stream file synchronization mode> which &erforms file sync actions on2

designed for file systems containing h*ge amo*nts of files and is ca&able of synchronizing

4.5 Bac%#roun (ile Sync,roniza!ion

By defa*lt> when the *ser clic!s on a sync command item> SyncBreeze starts the selected file
synchronization command and exec*tes it in the foregro*nd. 9nother o&tion &ro,ided by
SyncBreeze +ro is to exec*te one or more file synchronization commands in the bac!gro*nd.
'he main reason to exec*te sync commands in the bac!gro*nd is to synchronize m*lti&le
dis!s or directories sim*ltaneo*sly th*s red*cing the total time re;*ired to synchronize
m*lti&le directories.

6n order to synchronize m*lti&le directories in the bac!gro*nd> select all the re;*ired sync
commands in the command list> &ress the right mo*se b*tton and select the EStart
Bac!gro*nd SyncE men* item. SyncBreeze will start all the selected sync commands in the
bac!gro*nd and mar! them as E9cti,eE in the stat*s field. 6n order to o&en a synchronization
&rocess dialog for an acti,e command> clic! on the command item in the commands ,iew.

'he &rocess dialog allows one to &a*se> res*me or sto& any bac!gro*nd file synchronization

box located on the file synchronization &rocess dialog.

4.6 Sc,eulin# Perioic (ile Sync,roniza!ion O&era!ions

9nother ad,anced o&tion &ro,ided by SyncBreeze is the ability to exec*te file synchronization
commands &eriodically at *ser2s&ecified time inter,als. 6n addition> SyncBreeze allows one to
sched*le daily or wee!ly sync o&erations to be &erformed at a s&ecific time of the day. 'he
maBor reason to exec*te a file synchronization command &eriodically is to contin*o*sly !ee& a
fre;*ently changing directory synchronized with a bac!*& directory located on an external 4SB
dis! or a 39S storage de,ice.

6n order to enable &eriodic file synchronization for a sync command> o&en the command

command and &ress the ESa,eE b*tton.

For all &eriodic file synchronization commands> SyncBreeze dis&lays the time remaining to the
next sync o&eration. 9fter each ela&se of the s&ecified time &eriod> SyncBreeze will start the
file synchronization command in the bac!gro*nd and mar! it as E9cti,eE in the stat*s field. 6n
order to o&en a synchronization &rocess dialog for an acti,e sync command> clic! on the

6n addition to the &eriodic and sched*led file synchronization ca&abilities> SyncBreeze 4ltimate
and SyncBreeze Ser,er &ro,ide the *ser with ad,anced real2time file synchronization allowing
one to monitor the so*rce and?or destination directory and trigger the file synchronization
command after a *ser2s&ecified n*mber of file system changes.

'he real2time file synchronization ca&abilities are es&ecially *sef*l when the amo*nt of file
system changes is not e,en o,er time with s*dden s&i!es of file system changes followed by
&eriods of low acti,ity. 6n s*ch a sit*ation> it will be wastef*l to fre;*ently &erform &eriodic file
synchronization if nothing has changed> b*t on the other hand> if someone s*ddenly changes a
large n*mber of files> these changes sho*ld be synchronized as soon as &ossible.

'he most balanced a&&roach for s*ch sit*ations is a combination of &eriodic file
synchronization with real2time dis! change monitoring config*red to trigger the file
synchronization command after a *ser2s&ecified n*mber of changes. 6n this way> if the
amo*nt of file system changes is below the threshold defined in the real2time dis! change
monitor> the timer will exec*te the file synchronization command according to the sched*led
time inter,al. 0n the other hand> if there are too many changes> the dis! change monitor will
trigger the file synchronization command before the sched*led time.

6n order to enable real2time file synchronization for a file sync command> o&en the command
