Killcopy can be used as commando based and not only with a gui. It is even available as portable edition. Good luck everyone. As far as I know. Killcopy works with any existing Windows which I can remember. I think that i have used Killcopy on about different systems in different situations and on all kind of operating systems. As far as i know most programs are struggling with enormous quantities of small files.
Like 10 1Kb files and many copy programms also struggles with many large files like multiple 10GB files. Killcopy has currently never failed for me.
Have these been improved significantly? Last time I checked, Windows 10 copy performance was somewhere in between Windows 7 and Windows 8. Good post! It can also pause, skip and verify copied files using CRC32 in addition to dragging and dropping files onto the copy queue….
Do you have a list of free copy programs that can run as a service on a server Windows or ? Does any one these tools has the ability to pause and resume copying after system restarts? We will update this sometime in the future, but to be honest, I doubt there will be much difference in how they perform against each other. Have you tried timing the transfers manually? The copy dialogs might not be completely accurate with their information. Absolutely yes. These files are partition images splitted.
Has anyone done this before for this problem? I use this tool. This tool is one of the best tools. This tool copies the your files very easily. Please tell me that youre heading to keep this up! Its so excellent and so important. I cant wait to read much more from you. I just feel like you know so much and know how to make people listen to what you have to say.
This blog is just also cool to be missed. Great things, really. Supercopier was dropped by its author. Instead the author focused on UltraCopier instead of having 2 similar products. For anyone using Teracopy or Fastcopy I recommend my program: Dualcopy. Dualcopy add favorites, recent menu and monitoring of file managers to the great speeds of Teracopy and Fastcopy. View here: dual-copy. Downloaded Dualcopy. Fastcopy also has a drag-drop menu system.
FC also has file lists, etc, Will document it properly one day. These are all dedicated copying tools, not just any program that can copy a file from one place to another.
Hundreds of applications do that. Teracopy has free and paid versions. Export reports, edit file lists and commercial usage are the Pro features which you can very easily do without. Adding the dozens of files managers and other tools even just the free ones is far too big a task and probably a separate thing. This article is and will continue to be for free dedicated copying tools only. Total Copier cannot even access a URL. Over a year ago I was looking for a tool to copy numerous large files files on a scheduled weekly basis for example: 3, files averaging 2.
Wish you made a functional test too, still today programs have issues with funny characters, links, deeply nested folders etc. Make a test folder tree which includes everything, all kinds of characters in various character sets, file symbolic links, directory symbolic links, hard links, directory junctions. Both locally and over the network.
Now that would be one very useful test. I know from bitter experience. Injecting these into one compressed file ZIP or 7Z will by-pass most of these problems, usually. Richcopy is not seeing my Network. Running Windows Any ideas? This is correct, FastCopy will not replace the shell. Once again, bad interface, excellent features. I always install Teracopy but it freezes so often and crashes out entirely extremely frequently.
But the newer betas and the older stable.. I use it as a backup but could never depend on it primarily. Honestly for any important copy I just use commandline these days. Hopefully that saves someone some headache.
Also, version 2. Tried FastCopy and it blitzed it. I also like the CRC check-sum comparison being displayed during verification. I had a quick look at the developers website. The blog has progress notes on version 3 still in alpha. One of its features will be: Unlimited number of files, the internal file list stored on disk instead of memory. When using RichCopy, you need to tune it by adding threads. While it supports multi-threading, the default is 1 thread.
I am running a copy right now using 10 threads. Multi-threading really makes the difference. I have i7 with 8gb ram but it takes like 2 days or so to transfer 1tb of data, tried with super copier and teracopy.
All these programs were not able to copy I am assuming you have included the time it has taken you to select all your files to backup in that 1 hour 30 minutes? I do this about once a week. Other programs probably have these features, but I can only speak for synchredible for sure. Please try and review Exiland Backup Free for both backup and sync files and folders… This is the best I think and really easy to use.
Syncovery is fast and reliable. Have been using it for 12 years. Great support. I use Bvckup2. Any change to a file made in the source, it almost instantly updates the destination with the updated file.
I use this to monitor desktop folders and move added or changed files to the NAS immediately. Is there a syncing software which can detect renaming of files and while mirroring Side A to Side B, will actually rename the file in Side B instead of copy new name file to Side B and delete the old name file.
I know SyncToy could do this, any other tool? Thanks for this overview. I want to backup a bunch of photos and videos. Could anybody help me figure out which of these programs would be best for that please? I did consider AOMEI but I am trying Bvckup2 — it looks simple and clean and I think it will do what I want — which is to backup a smaller portable 4tb drive full of photos and videos and add another drive if needed plus some folders on the laptop like my Lightroom Catalogue for safety.
Regularly monitor and update changes to files. Fingers crossed Vice Versa Free works well for me with desktop, laptop and two external drives for backups, very simple and quick.

The tool can be downloaded on almost all Windows operating systems, including Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, vista and XP. The driver is designed specifically for bit Windows versions.
Therefore, trying it on bit Windows is not recommended. A computer using a bit processor would not necessarily perform significantly better than a bit processor, but the bit architecture would determine what software programs the particular computer could use. The audio driver software has several built-in functionalities and features.
It's my favorite now! I use FreeFileSync for months and I am very happy with this software. Thank you and congratulations to those who developed it, improve it and update it regularly. A wonderful tool! Tons of thanks to its maker Excellent software! I love it! A good sync tool needs reliability, batch capability, a compare-only mode, and configurable rules for dealing with different out-of-sync cases.
FreeFileSync has all of those and a straightforward user interface as well. I really can't think what I would add. Congratulations to the development team! Exactly what I was looking for! Nice program, easy to use interface, works like a breeze!
Favourite tool I have used. Thanks so much. Makes keeping my USB stick and google drive in perfect sync. Really replaces rsync for windows. It works very well. Works beautifully in multi-platform Ubuntu Linux, Windows, Mac environments. Great program! Easy to use, transparent, and does a great job syncing files.
This is a great software for free. It works so good and it comes with no junk. I have used a bunch of backup software, some paid and some free. But, Free File Sync is the simplest most straightforward way to back up files.
All I did was copy the pertinent directories to a 1. Like magic it works flawlessly. And, rather than go through some clunky interface to restore something it is a simple as going to the external drive and copying the files back. I created an account just to post my praise to the author. Class A material.
Deleting files without reason, failing to replicate in both directions, erroring out, just becoming an overall headache. This solution was not only intuitive to use, easy to integrate, and easy to confirm functionality The log files are heaven sent - They are concise and to the point yet in depth and serve a purpose , but is extremely powerful with the configurable batch jobs.
Kudos to the author, and thank you for providing such an awesome product. Fast, easy-to-use, multi-platform and free: the best file sync tool, that I have ever used. Kick ass on both Linux and Windows: definitely a top open source project!
Much appreciation to the developer for this great app! Best tool I've used for keeping in sync between home, office and abroad. I've tried many different programs for file synchronization. I stopped when I started using FreeFileSync. Thank you for developing such a superb and super-useful program. I am recommending it whenever I have a chance. Keep up the already-very-good work.
Del Gatto. I have been searching for a long time up to about 2 years ago when I found FreeFileSync for a utility that does this, even contemplated creating my own.
FreeFileSync is a one stop solution that does it all, and does it the way I expect it to. And its versatile and user friendly enough to compare files produced by the engineering tools I use. I've even used it to check disk transfer speed in real life scenarios, works like an absolute charm. It really became a tool I use extremely often, it's one of my must have's like 7zip. It beats "Unison" hands down for user friendliness and speed to install and get on systems.
It beats the tool "Beyond Compare" hands down because it's open source and freely available, but I have to say, I'd love the "Beyond Compare" capabilities, but I cannot justify its cost. FFS does enough for me that I can do without it.
I've been using this utility for more than a year now and still recommend it! Lots of really useful small details: The right mouse click on gear icons and grid rows, the quick selection change via overview window and space bar, copy and paste of filters and much more.
Maybe the best synchronisation program you can get: it's fast and intuitive, relatively easy to learn, and, most important, very reliable. By far the best and most flexible file sync software I have come across. Allows for customization. The only software I know that allows you to only sync files that exist already in both source and destination folders.
This feature comes in handy to do versioning. I ended up deleting the competitor's product and relying on FreeFileSync. Awesome, awesome backup program. For the longest time I was looking for a simple straightforward synchronization program to make weekly backups.
Finally I found it. Thank you guys for making this sublime program available for free. Excellent sync software; replaced SyncToy with this when I realised that SyncToy had gradually wiped rather than backed up my files. Works well; can't believe how much quicker it is! Since I am a backup paranoiac because I have lost data several times, I want something that is quick and painless. This is super easy to use.
It also, since it does not give me an error message, copies all the files that a windows copy and paste would not copy because the file names are too long or they are organized in too many sub-folders what a hassle that is, but that is another windows problem.
Have I confirmed this by testing and verify copying? It is easy enough to do, but I am way too busy. The best part is that you are not spammed with advert pop ups or anything like with other freeware.
Thank you so much FreeFileSync! What an excellent piece of software. Initially deployed as an experiment, has turned into a staple in my toolbox. I have it set up for an hourly mirror sync via Task Scheduler and it has proven itself time and time again. Nearly three million files synced, hourly revisions are kept on another drive and then compressed monthly Thank you so much.
Thank you for this awesome sync software. I tried a lot - free as well as pricey alternatives, but when I finally found this I knew my search had come to an end :! It has an easy and intuitive UI and all the features you would want from a sync tool! Funny how free stuff beats the commercial versions again and again It is the ideal application to synchronize my files between two computers and one file server.
I was testing before a few other solutions, but FreeFileSync is the best of the best!! Thank you for this project! Easy to use and fairly intuitive. Short learning curve. For the reviewer looking for "Help" resources, it is right there on the top left of the screen next to the Tools tab. Program is fairly documented in the "Content" selection. Great FREE sync software that actually replaced my 'paid' for app.
Keep up the great work, thank you! SO awesome. There's so much I could say about this indispensable program, but I'll just tell you now that the amount of options and different types of sync methods will ensure you are able to do what you need, as well as the ability to save your sync configurations for certain sync jobs, so that you can easily do them in the future. Great UI, please don't change it, because too many people are ruining their software these days with some new crap that renders their software useless, literally making it impossible to do anything.
Was using Unison, but there weren't many updates and it doesn't support x FreeFileSync is very simple to use! Also it is much faster than Unison! I recommend it! Very intuitive, and because of its flexibility it's possible to have portable backups since it can backup to a relative file path. Then you won't need to change destination path when you move the backup folder. Fast, easy and reliable. A great tool to keep two or more folders synchronized even when changes have been done on both sides since the last synchronization.
Excluding certain files or folders from synchronizing is quick and painless. The application will warn you when too much has changed in the folder contents since the last sync. It supports batch jobs.
I personally use this software to backup my personal files onto an external hard drive. It works great through my home network too. Thank goodness for FreeFileSync!
After the death of my home's NAS I was in big trouble A couple of external cheap hard disks are enough!! Thanks for all. This is a brilliant piece of software. It is simple to set up and easy to use.
I have been using it for a few months now and it has never crashed. I use it to sync to my Dropbox via BoxCryptor encryption. I don't completely trust auto syncing software, so this is a great alternative. It allows you to keep your original files on your computer, and also save separate back up files on your external drive or Dropbox etc.
Well done guys! This tool is a really nice application. I've tried countless sync tools, both free and paid. This is the one I've chosen to use. It works great in both Windows and Linux. Many many thanks to the developer s. I know how much time and energy it takes to code and maintain something like this. I appreciate it. Excellent Program. Anyone who wants to sync or backup should download and use this program.
Many thanks to the developers — deibiddo. This program is excellent. I have been using it between 2 computers for 3 weeks and no issues. I was using SyncToy for a few years with few problems, but recently SyncToy began to delete the newer files, some of which I spent hours writing. Thankfully I found FreeFileSync and it is working perfectly. It is very easy and works over network, local drives and external ones. A must-have if you use more than a computer and huge files make cloud drives an unfeasible option.
I have a lot of data to synchronise, about GB and , files. It scans my , files in only 2. I have tried two other free synchronisation software suites: Synkron also SourceForge software and RichCopy from Microsoft. FreeFileSync is better than both of them for a number of reasons: 1.
Intuitive user interface: I setup a multiple folder synchronisation within minutes! The buttons are clear, and if you aren't exactly sure of their function, hovering the mouse over the buttons will reveal clarifying information. Informative: I knew exactly what files were being deleted or updated.
Synkron would give no information about the analysis while it was occurring, so you don't know what progress it is making. FreeFileSync lets you know how the comparison is going, and gives a very handy graph to show progress, including file transfer rates, etc Stable: I have not yet had FreeFileSync crash on me. RichCopy and Synkron have both crashed, and Synkron tends to freeze the system.
Efficient: Synkron writes the synchronisation files to a backup file for some reason which I could not disable in the settings. This both slows the system down, but also uses up a significant amount of hard drive memory over time, since these files are not deleted. Quite simply the best free synchronisation software I have ever used! Very cool. Now it helps me to keep folders in sync and backup files from internal and external hard discs, mp3 player and my phone Don't waste your time trying other "commercial" ones.
This is one of those tools you cannot live without. Every month I also mirror my work files into a removable USB-2 drive. Once I waited for 3 months to update into my second removable drive and I had to wait for only 25 minutes, even though I had changed a lot of songs and videos. Moreover, my USB stick backups take no more than 3 minutes for a full day of work. The creator of FreeFileSync was kind enough to respond to some suggestions I made, but it's hard to think on improving this program because it is already great!
Really love this program and have been using it under Windows a lot. Now have an iMac and was really missing this program, so I am very happy to see that there is now also a MAC version.
Thank you very much. Faster than commercial alternatives. Perfect to make backup and update SVN repositories. This is a really well done piece of software. The GUI is intuitive. It is fast.
The file transfers are fast. I am really impressed with this tool. I love the simplicity of this. Other programs compress and bundle which is unnecessary and obfuscating. This program is actually easier and simpler than copying folders by hand, because once you've set up your paths and saved them in profiles, you just choose the profile. If you put a little effort in at the beginning working out what needs to be backed up, then the existence of the profile in the list reminds you that you need to do a backup of it.
I am a 20yr IT vet really! I do minor programming and I have had the need for a feature rich program that will get the files from A to B without issue and save security information. FFS is simply the best in the market hands down. The fact that it is free totally blows me away! Since my initial review we have come to use this product in our daily processing. The fact that the developer truly listens and incorporates good effective additions as well as continuing to improve the product puts him ahead of even larger software houses.
Please keep up the good work and look for our donation! James Lee Outsource Technologies Inc. I have used a lot of sync tools. I am sure FreeFileSync is one of the best tools available in the market out there. Above all it is free!! Thanks a lot to the dev team for contributing such a wonderful product. After successful tests, i permanently installed the program with 6 TB of data exchanged between 2 x 3 hard disks 12 TB total and it since works reliable and fast.
The best file backup and sync software I have used for far. It's quick and easy to use. Please keep this software portable as that is one of its greatest assets.
I use it to synchronize between multiple computers, drives, and operating systems seamlessly. Having a dual OS has never been easier. I've been looking for a tool like this for about 3 years, when my most favorite directory sync tool stopped development, short of Windows XP.
GREAT work on this. Clean, efficient, simple dir comparison or sync. Run it and it shows you what's out of sync, without all of the complicated configurations, etc. Simply the best file sync software and also free backup software: No feature bloat, no bugs, does what it's supposed to blazingly FAST! Very versatile and always expanding. The developer is very helpful and responsive. Couldn't live without FreeFileSync! I've tried almost every files and folders synchronisation program available on windows.
And FreeFileSync is definitely the best. It's the fastest, the most customisable and the most intuitive one, and above all, it's open source. Pleasantly surprised after trying 4 others, as it supports my Unicode filenames, feels lightweight, and makes the options fairly clear.
Does what it's supposed to do well. I switched from SyncBack free version to FreeFileSync because it handles a few important things better, e. Saved my life. I learned it in 30 sec. Simple and reliable. Awesome scalable tool!!!!! This is the only tool I know which can compare and sync 2 directories with more than 11,, files, and not die while syncing.
It took my server a couple of days to sync those monster directories, but hey I'm happy! I have tried at least 10 different sync tools in the past 10 years. This is wonderful. It is a 'good looking' friend of rsync! FreeFileSync is the best backup tool I've ever used! I've bounced back and forth between many tools over the years, and this one is so much simpler without sacrificing functionality in so many ways. The backup process is quick and reliable.
The generation of a batch script allows you to automate the synchronisation, which you set up in the GUI. It can then run regularly and in the background. The synchronisation dialogue is beautiful, showing you the speed at which it happens. Display filters allow you to grasp the changes, and preview stats allow you to see the quantity of changes before-hand so you don't make a mistake, moving the wrong way around for example. Probably the best open source software that I have ever encountered.
This app is great! Easy, intuitive backup and synchronisation between different folders or devices. Thanks for the development and maintenance of this app! Keep up the good job! What a simple yet incredibly helpful and powerful program! The user interface is flexible enough to house lots of things or to be very simple and sleek - and it performs binary comparisons! Cheers for a job well done!
Excellent, efficient tool for manual backup and folder mirroring. No persistent services. Does what it promises and is updated frequently. Takes advantage of multicore now. A big thanks to the developers. I've used Microsoft's SyncToy for years and thought it was the best of what was available There's no comparison in terms of all the things that are important: ease of use, performance, flexibility.
