Versie 1.45 van DirSync Pro is in ontwikkeling en inmiddels is de tweede bètarelease daarvan verschenen. Met dit opensourceprogramma kunnen een of meer mappen worden gesynchroniseerd, bijvoorbeeld een computer met een smartphone of usb-geheugenstick. Dit kan zowel zowel uni- als bidirectioneel. Het programma is geschreven in Java en daardoor platformonafhankelijk. Downloads zijn onder andere beschikbaar voor DOS, Linux, Mac OS X en Windows. Versie 1.45 wordt in Java versie 1.7 ontwikkeld en onthoudt nu bestandsattributen, zoals permissies en eigenaar. Verder is het filtergedeelte verbeterd en is er ondersteuning voor symbolische links. Het complete changelog tot nu toe ziet er als volgt uit:

) en de log files die je kunt laten mailen. Erg handig voor de control-freaks die willen checken of alles goed gegaan is met een backup. Sync'en heeft wel een nadeel dat het verkeerd kan gaan, als je per ongeluk een bestand delete, maar mijn ervaring is hier: maak geen ingewikkelde sync' regels etc, maar keep it simple.
