StorageSync Features
Standard Edition Features
The Standard Edition of StorageSync supports the following features.
Backup
Supports full and incremental backup operations of one or more files and folders at a time.
Restore
Restores backed up data to its original location or to another destination path you select.
Synchronization
Compares and synchronizes files and folders that have changed on the local hard drive(s)
with the corresponding files and folders on the media drive.
Media Profiler
Lets users with different target media create profiles with different StorageSync settings
for each target media. StorageSync remembers the settings associated with each target
media and uses them when backing up, restoring, and synchronizing data.
Auto-Launch

computer.
Reports
StorageSync provides a robust reporting capability that logs all backup, restore, and
synchronization tasks performed. You can access this log to see the status of these
activities.
Reminder
StorageSync does not take backup lightly. For that reason, StorageSync can automatically
remind you to back up files at intervals that you define.
Professional Edition Features
The Professional Edition of StorageSync supports the following additional features.
User-selectable Compression
Backs up data using a minimum amount of space on the media drive. With StorageSync,
you can select the amount of compression to be used from nine compression levels.
On-the-Fly Encryption
StorageSync uses one of the most secure encryption algorithms available to protect your
backed-up data, making it virtually impossible for anyone to access your files without
your permission.
