Toucan

sync, backup and secure, all in one place

Toucan is a custom built portable app for advanced users to synchronise, backup and encrypt their data, wherever they are.

Blowfish encryption users should read the upgrade notes for details on upgrading from version 1.x. Blowfish is no longer supported by Toucan.

Features

Toucan is a small utility allowing you to synchronise, backup and secure your data with more options than the built in suite utilities. It is split up into 7 tabs, allowing you to easily find the function that you want. This version features:

• Four synchronisation modes, copy, update, mirror and equalise.
• Backup and restore in industry standard zip and 7-zip files, with support for complete backups, updating existing backups and incremental backups, as well as restoring files from an archive.
• AES-256 encryption using ccrypt
• Command line support, allows you to create a batch file for repeated jobs
• Portable variables, point to places on you USB drive no matter what its drive letter is
