Backup with RSYNC for Windows and CWRSync

What we understand about backups.

Backup means help or support.

In technical term – a copy of a file or other item of data made in case the original is lost or damages.

Rsync is typically used for synchronising files and directories between two different computers. It can use SSH to connect to another computer and to transfer files. In addition to remote computers, you can use rsync to synchronise to external hard drives and network attached storage (NAS) drives. 

Rsync uses the Rsync algorithm which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.

 RSYNC for windows is a great tool but the main problem with it is that it lacks the performance that is offered in today’s technology and the fact that it is not very intuitive to get it working properly.

 Whether you are looking for RSYNC or CwRSync, you will find GS RichCopy 360 Enterprise by far a much better alternative when it comes to data replication and data migration projects.

 GS RichCopy 360 Enterprise works very similar to RSYNC and RSYCN for Windows (CwRSync) yet it is much more robust and offers many features that RSYNC lacks.

 

GS RichCopy 360 Enterprise Features:

 

  • Robust performance using proprietary multi- threading technology where several files can get copied simultaneously. What RSYNC completes in 3 hours, GS RichCopy 360 Enterprise can complete in a fraction of that time.
  • Files can be copied though a single (configurable) TCP port with the option to use AES encryption and compression or use SMB path (\\UNC).
  • Files can be replicated at block level or file level.
  • Runs as a service, can be scheduled to run at specific time and repeat on set criteria (fixed interval, every weekday, end of the month…etc).
  • Support environment variables.
  • Beside full automation and set it and forget it mentality, it can send email notifications when the copy job fails or successful or both.
  • Installation, configuration and working in matter of minutes.
  • Extremely easy and intuitive logical design. In addition to a powerful yet simple GUI, command line support is also supported out of the box.
  • Support for long path names, copies NTFS ACL permissions, and replicates file and folder attributes, date and time-stamps, copy open and locked files.
  • GS RichCopy 360 Enterprise is fully documented (admin guide and video library with many different examples) in addition to fully support by GuruSquad premier support.
