QuickMirror 1.82 (March 2024)

What is QuickMirror?

QuickMirror is a Windows file management utility that quickly transforms destination folders into mirror images of source folders. Variations of mirroring are allowed through basic and advanced options. All mirroring actions can be saved into a log for future review. A preview command enables testing mirroring options on the source and destination folders, and when used with logging, provides a way to see the results of mirroring beforehand. QuickMirror can be used for many purposes, such as backups, quick updating of backups, synchronization and mirroring.

Supported Platforms

QuickMirror runs on all current versions of Windows and many older ones too. These include Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, XP, 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012, 2008, 2003, 2000, NT 4, ME, 98, and 95.

QuickMirror provides methods of backup, synchronization, and drive mirroring

Backup important files and folders	Synchronize files and folders	Mirror drives
documents, photos, music internet favorites Windows system files	between folders and drives on the same computer between desktops and laptops between servers between servers and clients between main computers and backup computers	mirror entire drives have a backup of all files and folders save time and trouble of reinstalling

You can use QuickMirror to quickly backup your important files and folders periodically. QuickMirror saves time by comparing your files to what was backed up before and backing up only the changes that were made. It is usually much faster and efficient than deleting old backups and recopying entire folders, or simply copying files and folders over backed up files and folders, which may leave behind files and folders no longer needed.

You can use QuickMirror for efficient synchronization of files and folders on different computers. Keep files and folders up-to-date as needed. Synchronization includes the option to copy newer files to either the source or destination, ensuring the most recent files are preserved.

You can use QuickMirror to create a mirror of an entire drive. Note that:

for backups, it's helpful to have one or more usb drives or a hard drive docking station for swapping hard drives
a non-bootable drive can be completely mirrored to another drive for backup - all files will be copied as long as they are not in use, so close them first
mirroring a bootable drive may not result in a drive that will be bootable; since Windows continuously keeps some files in use, these files normally cannot be mirrored and may prevent the backup drive from booting -- a way around this is to attach the drive to another computer (but not as the bootable drive) and mirror it to the backup drive
a bootable backup drive can be used on other computers with similar hardware or to restore a virus-infected main disk if the backup drive has been previously removed from the system (preventing the virus from infecting the backup drive); note that the infected disk should be reformatted as to remove any boot-sector viruses before restoring files

QuickMirror Technical Information

QuickMirror is written entirely in Assembly code, optimized for speed, unlike the majority of compiled code that even the best compiler could not produce. This accounts for the small size of QuickMirror, which conserves memory and has "smart" memory usage that dynamically allocates and frees memory, reducing operating system overhead and further increasing speed. In addition, disk accesses (accounting for most of the time involved when mirroring) are minimized. Depending on the mirroring source and destination, multithreading is used to further decrease mirroring time. QuickMirror is optimized and packed with features; our program may seem small in file size, but it is extremely powerful. When you register QuickMirror you are gaining a license to use our powerful software and you are supporting its future development.
