Backup Direction

Traditionally, files are copied from the machine where Syncrify client runs to Syncrify server. New version of Syncrify allows copying files in both directions.

You can select how files are copied by using the Direction option in Syncrify client



Following table describes what each option mean.
Direction Description
Client to Server This is the default behavior. When a backup is run, newer files on the client machine are backed up to the server machine. No files are copied from the server to the client.

If Delete Files is checked, files deleted on the client will be deleted from the server as well, unless Delete Retention has a value greater than 0.


Two-way sync Newer files are copied in both directions - meaning if a new version of a file exist on the server, it will get copied (or restored) to the client. Similarly, a new file on the client will get copied (backed up) to the server.

The Delete Files checkbox has no affect. Files are never deleted.

This option is NOT available in the Personal edition of Syncrify.


Server to Client Files on the server are copied to the client if they are different. This is similar to running a restore operation with one difference: If Delete Files is checked, local files on the client will be deleted if they do not exist on the server.

This option is NOT available in the Personal edition of Syncrify.
