CopyFolder 1.8 is a specialized backup tool designed to create filtered copies of your files while maintaining their original formats. This feature allows you to access the backed-up files without needing to use the application again. After utilizing the preview functionality to compile a list of files for copying and making any necessary modifications, you can simply click the Copy button and attend to other tasks as the program operates in the background. By default, CopyFolder will continue to run without interruption after performing its initial checks, working diligently until it has copied all possible files and generated a summary report. The program offers numerous options for transferring data from one folder to another, allowing for the filtering of subfolders based on paths, names, or patterns, with the ability to include or exclude their nested folders. Additionally, file names can be filtered using specific patterns, while files themselves can be refined based on paths, dates, sizes, or attributes, even accommodating potential typing errors. CopyFolder also includes various settings for overwriting existing files and managing file versions. To enhance the backup process, it can utilize an external comparison tool to examine text files for any differences prior to copying, ensuring you retain the most accurate and up-to-date information. This versatility makes CopyFolder an invaluable tool for efficient file management.
