Compare Duplicacy vs. SureSync

Introducing a cutting-edge cross-platform cloud backup solution, Duplicacy enables users to securely back up their files to various cloud storage services, utilizing client-side encryption and advanced deduplication techniques. At its core, Duplicacy features an innovative approach known as lock-free deduplication, which leverages the fundamental file system API to efficiently manage deduplicated chunks without the complications of locks. To address the critical issue of removing unreferenced chunks in a lock-free environment, a two-step fossil collection algorithm is implemented, facilitating the deletion of outdated backups without the need for a centralized chunk database. Alongside its robust functionality, Duplicacy is equipped with a newly designed web-based graphical user interface that seamlessly combines aesthetic appeal with practicality. Users can effortlessly configure backup, copy, check, and prune jobs in just a few clicks, ensuring their data is safeguarded while optimizing storage efficiency. The user-friendly dashboard is enhanced with various statistical charts, providing users with valuable insights into their backup processes and storage usage. This comprehensive tool truly empowers users to take control of their data protection needs with ease and confidence.

SureSync is a file replication and synchronization application that provides one-way and multi-way processing in both scheduled and real-time modes. Processing can be performed via UNC path, FTP, or with our Communications Agent. Features of the Agent include real-time monitors, delta copies, TCP transfers, compression, and encryption. The agent must be installed on a Windows machine. File Locking enables real-time collaboration and is available in SureSync Managed File Transfer (MFT). With file locking a file opened by a user in one office will be read-only for users in other offices until changes have been saved and synchronized. MFT also includes archiving to create versioned file backups, enhanced cloud support and more. SQL Protection simplifies backups of critical SQL databases.
