ChronoSync overview
ChronoSync is the professional choice for periodic backups, bootable drive clones, and folder and file synchronizations. Target any device or folder visible in Finder such a volume, thumb drive, NAS, disk image, iCloud, select cloud services, server or (with ChronoAgent) another Mac! Directly connect to Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud, and iCloud cloud services and SFTP file servers. ChronoSync replaces your backup utility, drive clone utility, and folder sync utility with a single, powerful application. Get push notifications of your syncs sent to your phone with ChronoMonitor. Add InterConneX (free for iOS) and use ChronoSync to push files and folders to your iDevice.
What’s new in version 11.0.5
Enhancements and changes:
- Improved compatibility with InterConneX running on iOS 18.
- Added logic so that real-time file system change triggering diagnostics are generated when ‘SchedulerDebug’ is enabled.
- Added logic that reduces the possibility that a file system change-triggered sync task would itself trigger another scheduled sync execution if running with SmartScan enabled and no actual file system changes occurred in between task executions.
Bug fixes:
- Eliminated a potential crash when an iCloud-based sync’s attempt to gain coordinated access to a directory stalled long enough to trigger a timeout or abort, but was successfully attained after the timeout/abort logic kicked in.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when reloading the scheduled items database at exactly the wrong moment.
- Fixed some auto layout UI glitches in the “Error Handling” section of the Options Panel.
- Fixed some typos in the German General settings panel.
- Fixed a bug whereby an AppleScript that triggered a sync or container task to begin execution could not properly monitor the state of that execution.

Uninstalled it a few years back on a old Mac that was short on space. Needed a copy of a 4tb drive and remembered this, they sent me a link to reinstall it, it worked great very

Version: 10.3.4
Most used App that I have ever purchased. I have been using ChronoSync since my first MacBook Pro in 2008 and now using it on my 2022 M1 MacBook Pro. Keeps all my files in sync between my three computers and my NAS drive. Best money I've ever spent and they provide lifetime upgrades. Thank You!!

Version: 10.2.0
1) I recently tested ChronoSync against Carbon Copy Cloner on a non-system backup and ChronoSync was way faster. 2) I often had a hard time syncing to another Mac and only recently used ChronoAgent (to be installed on the destination Mac) and it really made the grade! The only downside I could find is that it's not always obvious to find the correct settings in specific situations, but once you have it's great.

It is very thorough and secure, the setting options are excellent, it doesn't break once a file is not copyable. In this way, it helps enormously to perform good backup and even data recovery. It is worthwhile to get acquainted with it in care of the data. Looks like the Rolls-Royce of sync programs. Support is responsive if really needed.

If you upgrade to CS 10, please note. The format for Tasks that you define has been upgraded to support new features. WHen you run a task for the first time after updating to 10 you will be prompted to Confirm if you want to update file format for the task to new 10 format. Once converted that task can't be loaded or run in older version of CS If you only have one copy of CS and don't intend to revert back to older version, you should be okay to Confirm yes. If you have multiple copies of CS or share tasks across Mac or other people (like on a network) and they haven't upgraded to CS 10, you may NOT want to convert to new format. I upgraded to CS 10 and latest CAgent 2 and have had no issues at all, including backups to cloud storage (BackBlaze B2 and Amazon)

I downloaded the trial version of ChronoSync a couple of days ago and I didn't need the 15 day evaluation period to make my decision. This software is awesome; easy to use, doesn't bog down my iMac (like Time Machine used to), it's just a rock solid product in my opinion. Well worth the price. I've only been using it for a few days and feel I've got my money's worth out of it already.
I just wanted to be able to select the files I want to back up and then schedule the process at a time of my choosing, which can't easily be done on a Mac. It's a piece of cake to do that on a Windows PC using a batch file and the Task Scheduler, but even that is not as simple as the ChronoSync process. I had my backup setup and scheduled in about 15 minutes and I didn't even need the Help file.
Can you do it on a Mac? Yeah, but how? Install third party apps to work with Time Machine? Or run scripts using Terminal? Uuuuuuhhh... No. I don't think so.
I truly appreciate all of the hard work you've put into developing this valuable utility. It's exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you for simplifying the process of backing up my iMac.
