About This Manual
This manual describes the uses, installation, and all other operational aspects of HP
AutoSYNC.
AutoSYNC is a reliable, fault-tolerant, and automatic subsystem for replicating files
through synchronization. File synchronization is a complementary alternative to data

capturing and replicating each small change to a file, synchronization performs a
periodic analysis and copies files that have been added or changed to the configured
remote location.
