ChronoSync Updated Featuring Increased Bootable Backup Performance - Published on 07/30/14

Econ Technologies today announces ChronoSync 4.5.2 for OS X, a minor update to their popular Mac application that can synchronize, backup, and create bootable backups. ChronoSync can synchronize or backup to most anything that can connect to a Mac, including folders on a Mac, other Macs, PC's, and external drives. Version 4.5.2 is a maintenance release that includes enhancements to bootable backups and over 30 features and fixes.

Casselberry, Florida - Econ Technologies updates ChronoSync to version 4.5.2. This maintenance release includes enhancements to bootable backups and over 30 features and fixes. ChronoSync is a Mac app that can synchronize, backup, and create bootable backups. ChronoSync can synchronize or backup to most anything that can connect to a Mac, including folders on a Mac, other Macs, PC's, and external drives. ChronoSync is $40 and, as always, existing users update for free. No user is ever left behind.

This minor update follows the major update of ChronoSync 4.5, released back in June, and regardless of the extent of the update it's always free to every user. Econ has been creating ChronoSync for over 10 years and never charged for an update. That means every feature, every fix, every enhancement, every OS update, and any added functionality is free. No matter how Apple changes their technology, ChronoSync will to continue to operate without a hitch.

ChronoSync 4.5.2, although a maintenance update, does include speed improvements to the creation and maintenance of bootable backups. In addition to synchronization and standard backups of files ChronoSync can create and maintain a bootable backup or clone of an entire system drive. In addition to backing up files, a bootable backup can boot directly from the backup drive so a Mac can still operate if the primary drive fails. Furthermore by installing ChronoAgent on a destination Mac, ChronoSync can maintain a bootable backup over a network to internal or external drives connected to the remote Mac.

Here is a short list of notable features in ChronoSync 4.5.2.
* The synchronizer and container document Rename, Delete, and Duplicate now produce more meaningful error messages if those operations fail.
* Implemented a custom configuration option (via plist settings) to return to creating "Untitled" synchronizer documents on application launch & activation.
* Implemented more efficient collection of file metadata such as as extended attributes and ACLs.
* The file synchronization engine will now only force copying new files to a temporary file name on file server connections.
* Added better fall-back logic for situations where some file systems produce errors when certain file access permissions are requested.
* The file copying logic now iterates file forks more efficiently.
* Added the option to control file copying cache behavior via plist settings.
* Eliminated some inefficiencies in the copy engine that were carry-overs from very early versions of the application.
* Changed the terminology displayed in the user interface when selecting a custom location for the "Synchronizer Documents" folder.
* Added workaround logic that should prevent various progress sheet windows from failing to show progress on certain systems.
* Added logic to prevent accidental deletion of files when running the installer on 10.6 systems after a very specific (and obscure) sequence of events.
* Updated the volume blacklist for bootable targets and auto-exclusion.
