Key features¶

Some of the key features of Dsynq:

Check in/check out project data for a particular Git commit;
Seamlessly use the data from the previous commits or add/remove data within any commit;
Data updates between commits are incremental;
Merge data from different Git branches;
Migrate project database schema and data forward and backward (rollbacks);
Script easily via the command line interface;
Use any Linux server to host remote datastores;
Authenticate with private keys from .ssh/ or pageant;
Leverage rsync and plink/ssh for transport.

In addition, Dsynq Professional and Enterprise editions include:

Remote backups

Back up the remote data on every checkin automatically.
Local backups

Back up the local data on every checkout or get automatically.
Database deltas in .bin.xz format

Unlock parallel processing of database deltas with this super efficient format.
Detecting moved files and directories

Synchronize the data directory structure before actually transmitting the files. This may save a lot of time and bandwidth.
Remote datastore maintenance

Use advanced commands to maintain remote datastores.

It's straightforward to build data versioning extensions on top of Dsynq to enhance different frameworks or Object-Relational Mappings (ORMs).
