DirSync Pro was an open-source file synchronization and backup utility for Windows, Linux and macOS. DirSync Pro was based on the program Directory Synchronize (DirSync), which was first released in February 2003 by Elias Gerber. He subsequently developed it with Frank Gerbig and T. Groetzner. DirSync Pro was released by O. Givi in July 2008, based on a branch of the DirSync code. Many parts of DirSync Pro have gone through major rewriting and redesign ever since.[3]
DirSync Pro offered a graphical user interface from which the user could manage and run multiple synchronization tasks.[4] As of version 1.31, it supported local folder to folder synchronization, but did not support synchronization via FTP yet. The application was self-contained within its own directory, and was therefore fully portable.[5]
DirSync Pro made it possible to compare a couple of directories and synchronize their content. It could be used to create incremental backups. The synchronization could be set up to mirror a directory into another one unidirectionally, or to synchronize the content of two directories bidirectionally. Before synchronization, the user could run an analysis on the source and destination. DirSync Pro detected any kind of changes to any file/directory in the source (e.g. file/directory modification, move, deletion, renaming) and could synchronize the destination accordingly.
