A file synchronization and backup utility that's portable.

Toucan is a freeware project which supports backups and synchronizations of specific files and folders.

With Toucan, you can perform the necessary tasks to keep documents backed up and up-to-date; it is fully portable and also supports many command line commands for advanced users.
