Beyond Compare is focused. Beyond Compare allows you to quickly and easily compare your files and folders. By using simple, powerful commands you can focus on the differences you're interested in and ignore those you're not. You can then merge the changes, synchronize your files, and generate reports for your records.
Select to: Delete redundant files folders, Archive bit set, Delete archive bit set, Ignore hidden file/folder, Compare file contents, and Sync folder attribute. Add files to be included or excluded. Set sync parameters: Time interval, System event (start, logoff), and Execute condition (if condition meets, then sync).
Compare Files, Folders
You can compare entire drives and folders at high speed, checking just sizes and modified times. Or, thoroughly verify every file with byte-by-byte comparisons. FTP sites, cloud storage, and zip files are integrated seamlessly, and powerful filters allow you to limit what you see to only what you're interested in.
Once you've found specific files you're interested in, Beyond Compare can intelligently pick the best way to compare and display them. Text files can be viewed and edited with syntax highlighting and comparison rules tweaked specifically for documents, source code, and HTML. The text contents of Microsoft Word .doc and Adobe .pdf files can also be compared but not edited. Data files, executables, binary data, and images all have dedicated viewers as well, so you always have a clear view of the changes.

Do you work on your files at home and at the office? Are you a frequent business traveler?
With users working at home, on the road or in the office, it's hard to keep all the PCs current with the latest files and data. Documents, databases, spreadsheets, sales and contact information all can get changed several times a day. How is the work coordinated on all the various PCs, making sure that all systems contain the most recent versions all the files? FolderMatch is a tool that solves this problem.
Are you a computer professional: a Programmer, Tester, Trainer, Network Administrator, or Support Technician?
If so, this utility is a MUST. Whenever there are duplicate copies of files/folders across a network, there is always a risk that they may be out of sync. FolderMatch can eliminate this risk. No more painful inspections for missing files when setting up directories or applying file updates. Creating and comparing test/development folders, applying new program updates/patches, these become more carefully controlled processes by decreasing the risk of human error. Best of all, FolderMatch's synchronizer is network-friendly. Only non-matching files are replaced which reduces the load on the network.
Do you make your own CDs?
A common task for people working with CD duplication and replication is the verification that the image mastered is the same as the result of the duplication. A tool which can compare files down to the byte level is required. With FolderMatch you can determine if even one byte of data differs!
Are you a pack rat?
Do you have backups of your backups? Hey, redundancy can be a good thing. Having a backup copy of a critical file can be a real lifesaver when your hard drive crashes or when your dog uses your floppy disk as a chew toy. FolderMatch can help you manage all of your backups.
