Real-Time Synchronization
Real Time Synchronization will monitor folders for changes and copy new or modified files with a very short delay after the change has occurred. Because the folders are monitored, they don't have to be scanned - the "Building File List" step does not occur. Real Time Synchronization can be very convenient and speeds up the synchronization process considerably. However, it will only copy new and modified files and it may not be appropriate in all situations.
Please note: Real Time Synchronization is currently not implemented on Linux or FreeBSD systems.
Real Time Synchronization is chosen in each profile, on the right-most tab sheet among the Schedule settings. The scheduler must be started in a separate step to start the monitoring.
Because Real-Time Scheduling does not compare the source and destination folders completely, it is recommended to also schedule a complete profile run, for example once a day. This can be done on the "Schedule" tab sheet.
