Binary comparison

If you want to make sure that file contents is 100% identical on both sides, use this setting. Only files which would normally be considered identical by looking at the file size and timestamp will be verified. If the binary comparison shows that the files are different, they will be marked for copying in the profile's main copying direction. If the profile has both directions checked, then the Synchronization Preview will show such files with the word CONFLICT and it will not do any copying by default. You can then set the desired copying direction in the Synchronization Preview.

Attribute comparison

This setting causes the program to compare file attributes, such as Read-Only, Hidden, and Archive. When files are identical except for the file attribute, the file is not copied again. Only the attribute is changed on the destination side.

Case Sensitivity: Adjust At Destination

Filenames on Macintosh are not usually case-sensitive. This means that myfile.rtf would be the same file as MyFile.RTF. However, you may want your files to look identical. So, if you have a folder where some spellings are different in terms of case, then you may use this setting in order to adjust the case at the destination. You can only use this option when the profile has only one main copying direction.

Verify Sync Statistics After Completion

This will cause the left and right folder trees to be scanned completely again after the synchronization has completed. This verification stage will end in detailed statistics which are used to verify that the backup or mirror is complete. Any files or folders that still don't exist on both sides are listed.
