Introducing ChronoSync 10, Over Twenty Years In The Making
Casselberry, Florida – March 4, 2022 –
Introducing ChronoSync 10. This major update contains full support for macOS 12 Monterey, and runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers. ChronoSync 10 contains many features and fixes most notably simple bootable backups for Big Sur and Monterey, iCloud support, and custom Archive location.
ChronoSync is a complete, all-in-one solution for synchronizations, backups, bootable backups and cloud storage for the Mac. This release marks over 20 years of ChronoSync backing up and synchronizing files on the Mac. Current users can install ChronoSync 10 immediately for free!

Whatever your backup or sync scenario, ChronoSync has got you covered!
ChronoSync 10 features the return of the simple Bootable Backups for Big Sur and Monterey. Since Catalina, Apple split the main drive into two volumes: System and Data. Starting with Big Sur you could no longer copy the System volume. ChronoSync’s approach to creating bootable backups on Big Sur was a bit cumbersome. It ignored the System volume and could only sync the Data volume which was a less than ideal scenario. ChronoSync 10 takes advantage of Apple’s APFS replication utility (called ASR) to create a cloned image on the destination volume. Once the full system clone is made, ChronoSync will only handle the Data volume in subsequent syncs. This approach creates bootable backups that are straightforward and easy to maintain.
ChronoSync 10 offers custom Archive locations. Previously ChronoSync maintained an archive of deleted and older files on the same volume as the destination. Now ChronoSync can maintain an Archive in a different location than the destination. The main benefit of this is that an Archive can be placed on a different volume to maximize storage capacity. Maintain a backup on one device and the archive on another. In addition to custom Archive locations ChronoSync 10 features the Archive Mover which can be used to relocate an archive to another volume and the Archive Maintainer which easily manages the Archive so it doesn’t consume too much space.
ChronoSync 10 contains direct iCloud support which is two features in one. First, the ability to synchronize directly to iCloud storage. Files synchronized to iCloud will propagate to all other devices that you have associated with that same Apple ID for easy access. Second the ability to backup files from iCloud. ChronoSync 10 is the only tool for macOS that offers an efficient way to backup your iCloud storage to another device (or cloud storage service). Check out the iCloud guide for all the details.
Alongside the ChronoSync 10 release comes ChronoAgent 2. This release contains full support for macOS 12 Monterey, and runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers. ChronoAgent, the indispensable companion app to ChronoSync, runs on the destination Mac and connects directly to ChronoSync on the source Mac. It is simply the best way to establish a direct connection between two Macs to transfer files. Whether you are simply synchronizing files between two Macs or backing up multiple Macs to a Mac server, the ChronoSync to ChronoAgent connection provides a direct, high performance, and encrypted connection.
