Synk is a backup and synchronization program that has the ability to resolve aliases and to archive older files.
You can backup a folder full of aliases and modify your backup or synchronization strategy by dropping file or folder aliases into the defined folder.

In addition, obsolete files and folders can be archived into a single folder, making cleanup and maintenance a snap. There is a complete log of Synk's backup actions. Obsolete files can be deleted, trashed, or archived.

There are three versions available.

Here are some key features of "Synk":
native Cocoa file synchronization application
clear, user-friendly interface usable by (advanced) grandmothers yet powerful enough for system administrators
informative preview window gives you full control over what will happen
intelligent synchronization knows when you have removed a file from a folder or added one in
rule based inclusion and exclusion allow detailed control over synchronization
powerful archival feature can keep and organize every modified document
integrated scheduling support allows synchronizations to be run automatically
can execute as root to bypass permissions and ownership and create bootable backups
properly synchronizes packages as single units, avoiding data corruption
safe copy helps prevent data loss in case of lost connections
money-back satisfaction and bug-free guarantee
localized in Finnish, French, German, and Italian.

Limitations:
30 days trial.

What's New:
Version 6.0 is a complete redesign and adds ZeroScan technology which makes Synk 6 up to 100 times faster than competing products and previous generations of Synk.
