Synchronizing a few folders between two machines?

@Armando - not to mention it was made in Canada :)

CopyTo Synchronizer has apparently been around for years as shareware, but it was recently released as freeware (10-1-2010).
I've only used it for a short time, but it seems a very capable backup and sync tool. I particularly like the compact GUI and customizable preview window.
Definitely not a portable tool, but lots of features.
Armando:
Thanks for the link.
Not portable... And doesn't seem like it can do partial file updating, copy open files or detect renamed/moved files/folders though.

True, Bvckup is the more advanced tool in the respects you mention. Also, CopyTo has no realtime sync. No doubt, I remain very impressed with Bvckup's capabilities.
On the other hand, CopyTo Synchronizer can perform differential backup, incremental backup, and bidirectional synchronization.
I suppose it's a case of the right tool for the right job.
[edit: excepting renamed/moved files from the first sentence btw. ;) I realize Bvckup doesn't do that yet.]

Exactly... I really need everything Bvckup offers. Versioning will make it mostly complete as far as I'm concerned.
