Backing up your files to another computer
The Sync Wizard will guide you through the process of creating a synchronized copy of your files to
protect you from local hard drive failure. You can synchronize your local folders with a network drive,
remote computer, or external hard drive. You can name the synchronization, specify the actions you
want to take each time you synchronize your files, schedule the synchronization to run at specific
intervals, and edit or remove the synchronization at a later time.
To create a synchronization:
1 In the Browser, click File | Sync, and then select Create Sync.
2On the Welcome page, click the Next button when you are ready to continue.
3On the Synchronization Options page, specify the folder containing files you would like to copy,
and a folder on a network drive, remote computer, or external hard drive in which to place those
files. In the Options area, specify how Sync should handle errors and logs. In the Confirmations
area, specify how Sync should handle file duplication conflicts. Click Next when you are ready to
continue.
4On the Synchronization Schedule page, type a name for your synchronization, and specify
whether you would like to run the synchronization immediately, or schedule the synchronization.
Click Finish when you are ready to complete the wizard.
Updating or deleting a synchronization
You can adjust the settings of a synchronization, schedule it to run at regular intervals, or delete the
synchronization from ACDSee.
To update or delete a saved synchronization:
1 In the Browser, click File | Sync, and then select Edit Sync.
2 In the Saved Synchronizations dialog box, select a synchronization from the list.
You can add metadata or database information to an image or a group of images
with the Batch Set Information tool.

you must have a real password with more than one character.
