Four synchronization modes, copy, update, mirror and equalize.
Four backup modes, complete, update, incremental and restore, in industry standard zip and 7-zip files
AES-256 encryption using ccrypt.
Command line support, allows you to create a batch file for repeated jobs

New In This Release

In this release the Blowfish method has been removed due to file corruption issues. If you still have Blowfish-encrypted files that you need to decrypt you will need to use Toucan 1.2.2. As always, be absolutely sure to have your password correct and do a backup before decrypting Blowfish-encrypted files as your files will be corrupted if you enter an incorrect password. The encryption method used in Toucan is now AES-256 which has been default since version 1.2.0 as it is more secure and much safer to use. Also the Japanese language was removed from this release. If you would like to translate Toucan into Japanese, or any other language, please visit the forum.

Toucan is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.
