SimplySync Backup is a lightweight, intuitive folder backup and data synchronization software designed specifically for Windows. Developed by Carifred, it is built to help users quickly secure their data by copying files from a source folder to a secondary destination, like an external drive or a network location, without requiring complex technical configurations. Key Features
Dual Operation Modes: The application can be installed directly onto your PC or run as a standalone portable application straight from a USB drive without installation.
Flexible Syncing Options: It supports bi-directional synchronization, straight backups, and strict data matching to ensure that the destination directory exactly matches the source.
Unattended Backups: Users can generate custom desktop shortcuts that trigger automated, silent data backup sessions requiring zero manual user interaction.
Smart Performance: The program is optimized for speed, utilizes minimal system resources, and natively supports Windows system environment variables in both source and destination file paths. How the Software Functions
SimplySync Backup relies on a compact, highly functional user interface where users define custom “folder pairs”. For every folder pair, you select a source path and a designated backup destination.
From there, you can choose from multiple synchronization algorithms:
Common Mode: Standard copy function that moves new and updated files.
Strict Mode: Erases files from the destination if they have been deleted from the source, maintaining an identical clone.
Two-Way Sync: Updates both locations simultaneously, making sure the newest version of a file exists on both sides. Pricing & Availability
The core file-copying mechanics are available as a free download. However, to access advanced automation features—such as configuring recurring scheduled backups and activating automatic updates—users must purchase a premium commercial license from the Carifred Buy License Page. A premium license is tied directly to a single machine’s unique Hardware ID.

Do you need to sync files locally (to an external drive) or to a cloud provider?
Do you require real-time synchronization, or are scheduled daily/weekly backups enough? SimplySync Backup – Carifred
