Seatbelt checks every file at the destination before copying.
If a file with the same name, size, and modification date already exists, it is treated as an exact match and skipped. This saves time and avoids unnecessary writes.
If a file with the same name exists but differs in size or modification date, it is treated as a modified file.
When a modified file is detected, Seatbelt lets you choose how to handle the difference. By default, modified files are overwritten, but this behavior can be changed to any of the following options:
- Overwrite
- Skip
- Rename (using default Finder renaming)
- Ask (each time)
