7.13. Synchronization Mode
You can use DesktopMirror’s Synchronization Mode to copy files
both ways – from your Internet Space 2 to your computer and from
your computer to the Internet Space 2.
Using synchronization, if you back up a folder using DesktopMirror,
and then upload additional files to that folder, the files will be cop-
ied automatically to your computer.
For example, let’s say you’re traveling with your laptop and you
buy a new music CD, which you rip onto your MyMusic folder on
your laptop. Assuming that you’ve already set up a DesktopMirror
scheduled backup to back up your laptop’s MyMusic folder, Syn-
chronization Mode will copy the new files onto the Internet Space 2
when you run DesktopMirror.
Synchronization works both ways, so, to continue the previous ex-
ample, if someone at home copied music files to the Internet Space
2, when you run DesktopMirror, those files will be copied to your
laptop.
If you set up a scheduled backup (see
7.11. Schedule Tab
), this
process will be automatic; otherwise you have to run DesktopMirror
to execute the synchronization.
