如同Michael Swanson's Blog : SyncToy for Windows XP (http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2005/08/09/449349.aspx)作者所說, 在SyncToy 尚未誕生以前, 作者僅使用Allway Sync (又名GoodSync) 來進行資料備份, SyncToy 原本是Microsoft PowerToys 其中之一, 在此特別提出來, 是因為小弟認為有必要強調其資料夾同步的功能, 原始的目的可能是為了可攜式媒體(記憶卡/隨身碟)和電腦之間同步, 但是隨著用戶的需求增加, 功能也愈來愈完備, 您也可以把它當作資料備份的工具, SyncToy 需要.NET Framework 1.1 以上, 此外SyncToy v1.x 最大的缺點是不會刪除空的資料夾, 這使得短期內Allway Sync Free 仍將是免費軟體的首選, 不過Allway Sync Free 有其使用限制(見以下說明), 因此長期來看, 盟主寶座終將拱手讓人, 而SyncToy 可怕之處在於有Micro$oft 作為後盾, 經過一年多以來的改進, SyncToy 已經足以和商業軟體抗衡, 雖然仍未盡令人滿意, 但相信2.0 版很有機會打下半壁江山, 除了以上兩者之外, SyncBack 也是另一個常被提及的軟體, 然而免費版不支援Unicode 是最令人婉惜之處, 還有一個值得一提的軟體 - JFileSync, Java-based, 支援Unicode, 然而已經超過一年沒有更新, 前景堪虞, 而Unison (http://www.pczone.com.tw/vbb3/showthread.php?t=127515)也已經確定不再更新, 所以在此不多做介紹
小弟的結論是, 在SyncToy 2.0 推出之前, 如果您需要備份的檔案不多, 那麼Allway Sync Free 可能是最好的選擇, 其次, 您可以考慮SyncToy 1.x 或JFileSync, 以上均支援Unicode, 對於純英文環境的用戶來說, SyncBack Freeware 也是不錯的選擇, 另外一個選擇是freeCommander, 這是一個雙視窗的檔案總管, 資料夾同步只是其中的功能之一

SyncToy: the smart way to copy files (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/prophoto/synctoy.mspx)
Provides easy and flexible copying, moving, and synchronization of files in different directories
Manages multiple sets of directories at the same time
Can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another
Keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder
