Installation
Since Save-N-Sync is designed to run on several different operating systems, platform independent installers are required. Installer is currently available for Windows Os, Linux and Mac OSx.
For Windows OS
For Windows, Save-N-Sync is shipped as a single installer with a *.exe extension. In order to install Save-N-Sync, download the installer, then run it. During the installation process, the installer may prompt to download the Java Runtime Environment (or JRE). This is normal and once acknowledged, the installer will take care of the process.
Platform Notes: Save-N-Sync is NOT supported in versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000 Service Pack 4. Also, Save-N-Sync cannot be installed on server versions of Windows.
For Mac OSx
For Mac, Save-N-Sync is shipped in a '.dmg' file. This file can be mounted within the operating system and the Save-N-Sync installer can then be ran from there.
Platform Notes: Unlike in Windows and Linux, Mac OS X ships with a built-in Java Runtime Environment (or JRE). However, not all Mac OS X installations have the required JRE version 6 (primarily with older, non-Intel based Macs). In most cases, the installer will prompt you to update the JRE. Please contact support@savensync.com if the Mac Save-N-Sync installer does not work properly in your environment.
For Linux OS
For Linux, Save-N-Sync is shipped as one of two '.sh' files. One is designed to run on 32-bit Linux platforms while the other is designed for 64-bit Linux platforms. Once the appropriate '.sh' file is downloaded, open a terminal window, type 'chmod +x', then drag the downloaded file into the terminal window and press the 'Enter' button on your keyboard. Once this is done, click and drag the '.sh' file back into the terminal window and press the 'Enter' button again. This will start the install process.
Platform Notes: On 64-bit platforms, the most recent Java 6 Runtime Environment must be installed BEFORE running the installer, otherwise the installer will fail. The 32-bit installer will download the Java Runtime Environment while it is installing if necessary. It is HIGHLY recommended that you DO NOT run the installer with 'su' (super user) or 'root' credentials. This may affect the placement of application shortcuts and your ability to run the application .
Configuration
When properly configured with the appropriate source and target paths, Save-N-Sync ensures that the folders and files within the source directories are successfully synchronized to their corresponding target paths. Save-N-Sync also ensures that any out of date files within the given target paths are updated with the latest from the source paths. This process can be initiated manually, on a fixed schedule or interval, or even in real-time when changes occur. Using specially placed shortcuts, Save-N-Sync can also be set to run upon system start. When this is used in conjunction with some form of scheduled or real-time mode, Save-N-Sync makes sure that any changes to the selected files and folders are continuously backed up while the system is running without requiring any user intervention.
