Features

Toucan Screenshot Toucan is a small utility allowing you to synchronise, backup and secure your data with more options than the built in suite utilities. Its features include:

  • 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

Toucan 2.0.1 fixes a number of bugs in the 2.0 release. It now also uses MD5 checksums to compare files in Sync and a right click menu has been added to easily exclude files and folders by their name or extension. Polish and Hungarian translations have also been added, thanks go to their translators.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

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.

Thanks for all your work on this Steve.

It has taken me an age to find any portable software that comes close to even matching the otherwise excellent freeware Syncback, but I have sufficient confidence that Toucan is it. It does what I need it to, without fuss and I can take it with me anywhere I go.

Nice work Steve.
