(But please don’t transfer this to GUI design I’m into abstract thinking, not graphic arts.)” I take code quality and design very seriously. “It’s not that speed is that important when doing a backup,” ZenJu says, “but I still optimize the algorithms, just because I can. However, advanced users should still be able to create more complex sync scenarios. ZenJu began with a grocery list for the perfect sync tool: It should require only the input data necessary for the job, and not force users to specify options that people seldom need.
The free sync tools he tried were either restricted in functionalty (because the vendor sold a non-free version too), or overloaded with functionality that cluttered up the user interface, or they were too slow or required preconditions like installing various versions of Microsoft’s. ZenJu got the idea for FreeFileSync about a year and a half ago when he wanted to mirror-sync two hard drives so he could use one for backup.
Instead, his FreeFileSync utility is based on two principles: simplicity and speed. Bavarian developer ZenJu isn’t a fan of those everything-but-the-kitchen-sync data replication programs.
