You can group these documents into containers to run several of them at once, but if you frequently change your selection of files and folders, you may find the process to be cumbersome. If you wish to select or deselect several arbitrary files or folders, you would typically create a separate synchronization document (which holds all the settings for a given operation) for each one. For instance, you can’t see a hierarchical list of an entire volume and merely check or uncheck the items you want to sync or back up. However, some operations that are simple in other backup programs may seem strangely complicated here. Generally ChronoSync does a good job of keeping its interface simple for basic operations while offering more-complex options for users who need greater control. ChronoSync can take any of numerous actions in the event of a sync conflict-for example, always overwrite in one direction or the other, always choose the older or newer file, skip the file altogether, or prompt you to choose one or the other manually.

You can also click a Trial Synchronization button to display the results of the synchronization without copying any data.

For example, you can copy in either direction or bidirectionally, synchronize deletions in either direction, archive changed and deleted files, create rules to include or exclude files matching any pattern you describe (such as those files under a certain size or having a particular Finder label), and so on. You can customize this simple-sounding procedure in a vast number of ways. The basic program layout remains the same: You choose one folder or volume on the left side of the window and another on the right, select your options, and click Synchronize to copy your data. In the years since, ChronoSync has become even more powerful, extending its backup and network synchronization capabilities. When I last reviewed ChronoSync (version 3.3, in 2008) it was already a mature, full-featured utility for synchronizing files and folders between volumes or computers.
