Biased Synchronization Mode

Biased sync mode has two flavors, left biased and right biased. When biased sync mode is in effect, synchronizations will only be allowed to occur in one direction. On the surface, this may seem identical to a unidirectional sync. This feature, however, is more than skin deep! Note that it is only available for bidirectional syncs.

What this means is that ChronoSync will scan both targets as it normally does but won't allow a sync to occur that will go against the bias. In fact, it will invert the direction of such syncs! For example, if you have bidirectional sync with left bias enabled, syncs will only occur left-to-right. Under 'standard' sync mode, if you modify a file on the right target, it will get synchronized back to the left side. Under 'left biased' sync mode, however, modifying a file on the right side will result in it being overwritten by it's left-side counterpart.

A similar behavior is applied to synchronized deletions. In this scenario, if a file is deleted on the right side, it would normally get deleted on the left, too. Not so in left biased mode - the left file will get copied back to the right side!
