MirrorFolder is a real-time mirroring and synchronization software to backup files from your local computer
drive to another local/removable/network drive.
You can setup mirrors for your important folders, or even an entire drive, to another local/removable/network drive in
either automatic synchronization or real-time mirroring mode. Once you setup mirror(s) for a folder, mirroring/synchronization
will be done silently in the background without requiring any further effort or attention from you. You may also optionally
archive older versions of mirror files inside a series of zip files in a third location periodically.
Some common uses of MirrorFolder are:
- Mirroring on local hard disk - MirrorFolder is ideal for real-time mirroring on a separate local hard disk.
In this mode, files in the mirror folder will remain identical with their source at any point of time. In case the
source disk fails, you will have all of your files on the mirror folder/disk for immediate use. You may also use
auto-synchronization mode of mirroring on local hard disk and choose to move older versions of files in the mirror
folder to recycle bin duringsynchronization.
- Backup on removable drive - MirrorFolder can be used for automatic backup of your important working folders
on removable drive like USB flash drive, removable hard disk, etc., preferably in automatic synchronization mode. You
may also enable archive option to store older versions of files in a series of ZIP files into a third location.
- Mirroring entire system drive - MirrorFolder can be used to mirror entire Windows drive on another internal
hard disk drive in real-time mirroring (RAID-1 type) mode. In case the source drive fails, you can use mirror drive to
boot Windows without any lose of data/files. Note that MirrorFolder does not support mirroring entire system drive on
external removable and network drives at present.
- Synchronization between laptop and desktop computers - You can use MirrorFolder to synchronize files between
your laptop and desktop computers using bi-directional automatic synchronization mode.
- Synchronization between home and office computers through a USB flash drive - You can use MirrorFolder to synchronize
important folders between your home and office computers using bi-directional automatic synchronization mode through a USB flash drive.
- Workstations to server mirroring - In a networked environment, MirrorFolder can be installed on each workstation
computer to mirror important folders on them to one or more servers on the network. Once mirrors are created, MirrorFolder
will keep mirrors on the server synchronized with the source folders on each computer on the network without requiring any
further effort from individual users. That means, the server(s) will always contain an up-to-date copy of all relevant files
of each workstation computer and individual users will no longer have to spend any time backing up his/her computer periodically.
- Server to server mirroring - MirrorFolder can be used for mirroring of files/folders from server to server on local
network. Since this software runs under system account for both real-time and auto-synchronization mode of mirroring, it can
mirror any files irrespective of its access right and who is currently interactively logged on the system. However, you must
provide a user name and password to access the the remote server and mirror on it.
