How to sync two local folders

On one computer you can sync any two folders you like, except a folder and its subfolder. This includes data synchronization with a folder on a removable or remote storage device, such as a USB flash drive, USB hard drive, NAS, etc.

If you synchronize data located on an NAS or USB drive, then before creating a new sync, make sure that connection with the NAS is established, or the USB drive is attached to your computer.

To synchronize two local folders:

1. Start Acronis True Image Home 2012.
2. On the Synchronization tab, specify your Acronis account credentials (your registration e-mail address and password) and then click Log in.

   Login is required only when you create your first sync. Afterwards login is performed automatically.

3. Click New sync.
4. In the opened window, select on the directory tree the first folder that you want to synchronize, and then click Next.

   

5. Select Local folder as an object with which you want to synchronize your data, and then click Next.

   

6. Select on the directory tree the second folder that you want to synchronize.
7. Click Sync now and wait for the synchronization process completion.

You can also create a new sync using Windows Explorer. To do this, right-click the folder that you want to synchronize, and then click Sync this folder.
