Click ‘Generate ISO’ to save your files as an ISO using Folder2Isoand tick the boxes beside both
‘Synchronization on changes in folder 1’
and ‘Synchronization on changes in
folder 2’ boxes to enable real-time
monitoring. Any amendments you make
to your files will now be immediately
reflected in the synchronised folder.
Click ‘Next’ twice, followed by Apply.
Finally, click ‘Execute task’ to perform
your first synchronisation. This will take
longer than subsequent syncs, which
only copy across changes. Even so, our
initial synchronisation of 633 files
completed in less than two minutes. You
can now close the Synchredible window
and the program will continue running
in the background.8
Back up files as ISOs
ISO files are virtual disks. Creating
one when backing up a folder ensures
its contents exactly match the source
material when re-opened, complete with
its original sub-folder structure. You don’t
need any special software to read an ISO,
but you do need a free program like
Folder2ISO to create one.
