New:Each sync target can be given a custom name and these are displayed throughout the rest of the user interface. Establish simple, intermediate, or advanced rules to include or exclude files by name, size, date, extension, plus other more advanced options. Synchronize files in any direction or bi-directionally. Notification Center Integration: the "Post message via Notification Center" option has been added for synchronizer and container documents as well as scheduler notifications. This approach creates bootable backups that are straightforward and easy to maintain. Once the full system clone is made, ChronoSync will only handle the Data volume in subsequent syncs. ChronoSync 10 takes advantage of Apple’s APFS replication utility (called ASR) to create a cloned image on the destination volume. It ignored the System volume and could only sync the Data volume which was a less than ideal scenario.
ChronoSync’s approach to creating bootable backups on Big Sur was a bit cumbersome. Starting with Big Sur you could no longer copy the System volume. Since Catalina, Apple split the main drive into two volumes: System and Data. ChronoSync 10 contains many features and fixes most notably simple bootable backups for Big Sur and Monterey, iCloud support, and custom Archive location.ĬhronoSync 10 features the return of the simple Bootable Backups for Big Sur and Monterey.
This major update contains full support for macOS 12 Monterey, and runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers. We tested ChronoSync and many others similar programs with computers in the same network using both WiFi or Ethernet: it was the only one to offer a simple and effective synchronization. Synchronize files between folders, hard drives, removable media, laptops, file servers, or any computer, not just a Macintosh. ChronoSync is one of the best program to synchronizes or backs-up files and folders in a variety of ways.
