How to Perform Real-Time File Synchronization in Windows 11/10/8/7

Before you do, please make sure where to store the files. Here we will backup files to network.

Step 1. Install and launch real-time file replication software - AOMEI Backupper Professional on your Windows PC. Click Sync -> Real-Time Sync on the main window. 

Step 2. Edit the Task Name to differentiate this sync task from others if required. Then, click + Add Folder to choose the folders containing the files of which you want to make a real-time replication.

AOMEI Backupper allows you to backup files with a certain file extension with the help of Filter settings.

Step 3. Tap the inverted triangle icon > Add Share or NAS Devices > input the Network Path (IP address). After the network location is added, choose a shared folder as destination.

Tip: To automatically sync files to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, etc., choose Select a cloud drive from the drop-down menu.

Step 4. Press Start Sync >> button to perform real-time file replication.

Tip: Options allows you to comment on the real-time file replication task and verify the integrity of files in the destination directory during synchronization.

After the first full file sync, the real-time file backup software will automatically detect the changed files on the source and sync them to the destination with a very short delay after the changes occur.

If you want to synchronize files at longer intervals instead of in real time, you can choose the other three sync modes (Basic Sync, Mirror Sync and Two-Way Sync) and configure the sync task with Schedule Sync.

  • To sync files on a regular basis, you can choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
  • To sync files based on a special event, such as User logon, User logoff, System startup, and System shutdown, you could set up Event triggers.

Also, you can try its Cloud Backup feature to backup files if you have an AOMEI account. It supports backup files with daily, weekly, monthly, event triggers and USB plug in. And it offers you a cloud drive and 1TB free storage in 15 days after registration.
