Profile Settings - Special Features

Cache Destination File List...
The file list of the destination side can be buffered in a cache, which is stored as a database on your computer. When this database is used, building the file list can be much quicker. However, you need to make sure that no other program or persons modifies the destination side, because otherwise it would get out of sync with the cache.

This setting will speed up running a profile by using a database as cache for the destination file list. It can be used in the following case:
  • you are copying only from source to destination (not in both directions)
  • nobody else, and no other profile, is modifying the files on the destination
  • you want to speed up building the file list, and it needs the speed-up because the destination is relatively slow (such as FTP or WebDAV)


  • There are many other ways to speed up building the file list. Please see the documentation on our web site:

    File and Folder Security (Permissions=...
    A separate dialog will appear where you can specify how the program copies file and folder security settings. 

    Block Level Copying (formerly Partial File Updating)
    Block Level Copying can speed up backing up very large files of which only a portion changes each day. For example, SQL database files may be a good candidate for this setting. For more information, please see Block Level Copying.

    Left/Right side listing uses Remote Service
    The Syncovery Remote Service can speed up building the file list if you are synchronizing across a network or even over the Internet. It is installed on the other end and generates the file list so that the main program can download it. These checkmarks are used in the main program to activate this feature.
