Another advanced option provided by SyncBreeze Pro is the ability to execute file synchronization commands periodically at user-specified time intervals. The major reason to execute a file synchronization command periodically is to continuously keep a frequently changing directory synchronized with a backup directory located on an external USB disk or a NAS storage device.

In order to enable periodic file synchronization for a sync command, open the command dialog, select the 'Advanced' tab, specify the time period to execute the file synchronization command in and press the 'Save' button. For all periodic file synchronization commands, SyncBreeze Pro displays the time remaining to the next synchronization.

After each elapse of the specified time period, SyncBreeze Pro will start the file synchronization command in the background and mark it as 'Active' in the status field. In order to open a synchronization process dialog for an active command, click on the command item in the commands view. After finishing a periodic file synchronization command, SyncBreeze Pro will reset the command's timer to the specified time period.
