❖

You can designate any storage device connected to your 
computer (including hard drives, solid state drives, and flash 
media) as either the source or the destination device. For 
example, you can back up your computer’s internal storage 
drive to the Toshiba external drive or vice-versa, or you can 
back up data on another external storage drive to a thumb drive.

❖

The storage devices you designate can be internal or external 
devices.

❖

Any two storage devices connected to your computer can be 
synchronized. The devices you are synchronizing can be 
internal or external devices.

❖

You can synchronize two folders, rather than all of the data on 
two devices.

❖

A “Sync set” is the term used for the two devices or folders you 
are synchronizing.

❖

Each storage device or folder in a Sync set is referred to as a 
“target.”

❖

The software uses bidirectional synchronization. When a Sync 
is run, the software searches both storage devices 
simultaneously for new or modified files and updates each 
device so that it contains the latest files.

❖

Because bidirectional synchronization is used, it doesn’t matter 
which device you designate as the “first target” and which 
device you designate as the “second target.” In either order, the 
result is the same.
