Let’s say you’ve got a file on your work PC that
you want to bring home, so you could keep a USB
flash drive. Then again, take the USB drive home
(or anywhere else), work on your file, then
bring the USB key back to work and replace the
old one.
The Automatic USB
Backup software sync features was designed to help
facilitate easy synchronization for different physical
PCs. In Automatic USB Backup Sync mode, you can be
working on say a Word document at work, plug in your USB
device with Automatic USB Backup on it in Sync mode, and
it will copy this document to the archive. If you then
take the USB drive to your home computer, and perform a
Sync, even if you have an older version of the same Word
document on your home computer, the software will know
to overwrite that old version at home and use the latest
one from your work.
It is extremely
important in Automatic USB Backup software sync mode to
ensure all the computer's clocks are in synch. Because
the program looks at the time and date stamps of files
on both the USB device and the local computer. The files
and folders with the most recent date are then copied to
and from the USB device, ensuring the local computer and
USB device contain the latest versions of all the files.
If all the computers are connected to the Internet
full-time there is a good chance they will be in synch,
since Windows XP supports online time synchronization.
