A Definite Must-Have for the Serious Computer User

Excerpt from the Computer Users of Erie's February 2011 Newsletter

"Having a backup of your information is more vital now than ever before... There are many such utilities on the market, a lot of which I have tested personally over the years. But none are as useful and user-friendly as the subject of this review: SyncBack Pro.

SyncBack Pro is a VERY powerful program. It can make your digital life almost worry-free, as far as file integrity and redundancy goes. The verified copy function alone makes it well worth the cost. A simple Windows Copy command doesn’t give you that - you actually would have no idea if a file was copied correctly or not until disaster strikes, and you need the backup file. By then, it would be too late.

I’ve recently run many backups of my digital image library between my NAS box and external drives. Over 40,000 files each time, and not a single problem reported or found. This app simply works... and works very reliably.

A definite must-have for the serious computer user."

Serious About Data Safety? Try SyncBackPro

"I found out about SyncBackPro because I was searching for a way of backing up my PST files while Outlook was open. My previous backup software didn't allow me to do that: I had to close Outlook and run the backup manually. Thankfully, now with SyncBackPro I don't have to close/re-open Outlook every time I want to backup my emails.

An added bonus of this powerful software is the SMART technology, that monitors my hard drive state and warns me of potential future failures: another great utility that runs on autopilot! If you are serious about data safety, you should try SyncBackPro: I did and I would never go back."

This Software Makes Backups a Breeze

"I simply wanted to thank the developers of this software and for providing a freeware version. Ive spent a lot of time over the years writing backup scripts in shells and piecing together small utilities to get zip, ftp and mail functionality. This software made backups a breeze and I'll certainly use it again in the future as well as look into the features of its paid versions. Thank you so much!"

Manage an Enormous File Server Farm - You'll Never Find a Better Solution

"I just want you to know that I really love SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro. I've tried several different backup programs over the years, but I have never found a better product than SyncBack. I use it all the time, because I manage an enormous file server farm. I tell all my colleagues and clients about SyncBack products, so they can use it and enjoy too. Is there any way you could send me a men's L T-Shirt that I could wear to spread the word about how awesome SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro are with everyone who sees me? That would be so cool!"

SyncBackPro: Outstanding Usability!

"You program has usability coming out its ears. As a fellow software application developer who works for one of the biggest technology companies in the world, I realize the importance of usability. You should own the non-technical, home and small business markets. Even techno-savvy people love well designed usability. There is no ambiguity using your program and it is obvious that a LOT of thought goes into the wizards and text displayed to help the user choose and understand exactly what they are/have choosing/chosen when they use this tool. I would recommend it to anyone over the brute force backup programs like Norton Ghost. You should be bought out by a company like Carbonite or Microsoft and made a part of the Windows operating system.

I don't know want to name-drop or sound boastful, so I will just tell you that I am a 30-year experienced developer of one of the worlds biggest software development companies. This is not just gratuitous nonplussing, I know exactly what I am talking about. This is software excellence (at least from the user interface which do recognize and appreciate as end-users).

Anyway, just wanted to say what I have said before. You guys are the best backup program I have ever been exposed to. You "get" usability and have found some secrets to merge it with flexibility. That's not an easy task. Kudos!"

Brilliant Backup for the Professional Photographer

"I just wanted to thank you for your back up and sync program. To put it bluntly If I had can rate it from 1 to 10 stars with 10 being the highest, I would give it 100 stars!

I am a professional photographer originally based in New York City and now I'm located in the heartland of America-Montana. I have close to a million digital images on my main Thecus 5500n Pro Nas box. It's a 5 bay loaded with 5-2tb drive and raided for almost 8tb! I also have a second Thecus 5500 Nas box with 5 1.5tb driver raided for 6tb! Thecus has internal backup and sync called "nysync" and for some reason they refused all of a sudden to talk to each other! I was super nervous as this is my life's work. My "technician" here in Montana tried for 6 months but couldn't get these boxes to talk to each other. I was so fed up saying that there must be a program that does this and he said no there was not. I also tried Nero Backup and that failed as well. I tried a Google search for " Windows 7 sync program for non mounted hard drives and came across your program.

I downloaded the trial version and OMG 4 days later a complete 100% backup. Let me express how thrilled and relieved I am. In 1/2 hour of looking and finding this brilliant program solved months of anxiety. Needless to say $54.95 vs 6 months and what if my main drive totally crashed! I am forever in your debt and would recommend to anyone. It's also easy to use and now have 3 scheduled backups and the 1 main sync going. Thank you."

Fantastic Usability

"The backup wizard is a great job for the uninitiated to do backups. Great entry level package as well as advanced package. I spoke to you some time back about the key being usability and you have definitely added it. I hope you guys find your place in the home market. There is a great need for usable backups for the common user. Again, great job fellas."

SyncBackPro: Spot On

"I'm just writing to let you know what an excellent product you have, and how pleased I am, using it!

I am one of those guys who wants to be in control of what the software on my PC does, but without having to get a science degree on the software in order to do so. I think SyncBackPro is spot on. It lets me control an enormous bunch of stuff, but still it is stuff that I can relate to.

Thank you for a great product! And keep up the good work!"

Our Absolute Favorite Backup Application

"SyncBackSE is a premier piece of technology that is far underestimated in the IT community. From being able to backup full Microsoft SQL MDB databases and full Microsoft Exchange backups to making sure that my grandma’s pictures and Outlook PST file are safely backed up every night, SyncBackSE has become our absolute favorite backup application, bar none.

Normally we don’t even evaluate software this inexpensive because of our preconceptions that it cannot be as good as the “big guys” but after testing for several years, their software product has continually risen above and beyond all those “big guys”. It is so good we have often coupled it with our offsite backup system called Data Shield and have had great success with it: http://www.deltashield.com.

We take every piece of software that we install on a server very seriously. It needs to be able to pass many levels of testing (over a year) before we consider it safe to be placed on a server. SyncBackSE ranks as a 10/10 for being bug free, having a low system resource usage, and its ability to not interfere with the operation of other applications. Honestly, a software product cannot get any higher recommendation from us than SyncBackSE".

FTP Backup: Setup, Test and Deploy in less than 30 minutes!

"I just wanted to take a moment to say again how impressed I am with the SyncBackPro software.

About 30 minutes ago, I decided I wanted to backup a folder to an FTP server using compression and encryption. I then wanted to test restoring a single folder within the directory to simulate a real-world case. I am so pleased to report I was able to investigate, set up, test, and deploy this solution in less than 30 minutes! Way to go, guys! You've made a phenomenal product!!"

SyncBack Pro: Encrypted sFTP Synchronization for Online Backup Servers

"I’ve been a big fan of SyncBack Freeware for a very long time, and for a very long time it handled everything I needed to do when it came to keeping my laptop in sync with my desktop machine and my external hard drive. As my business has grown (which is a good thing), the amount of data that I need to store has also grown...

...So while the freeware version of syncback will most likely be adequate for many home users, anyone who is serious about fine tuned control of the security of their online data should really take a look at SyncBack Pro. It’s loaded with features, and the time and money it will save you is well worth the around $50 sticker price."

Superb SyncBackPro

"I would be remiss in not telling you how superb your SyncBackPRO program is.

I have been using it for three-four years now and can't possibly think how I could switch back and forth between four computers, a home LAN and multiple external hard disks filed with thousands of files.

I would be even more remiss in not telling you that this is the first time I ever wrote a letter to a Software Company.

Nothing comes close to SyncBackSE

"I've been looking for fast, reasonably priced backup software for a while and must have tried at least 10 products. Nothing comes close to SyncBackSE, particularly on performance. It does in 5 minutes what others take 45 minutes to do. I'll be encouraging my customers to use it as well. Thanks."

I’ve never been more satisfied

"I’ve never been more satisfied with any software I’ve used in my 30 year career.

I’ve been working with computers for about 30 years and worked with many software packages including everything from shareware to vertical applications, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars and I've got to tell you, none have been more satisfying an experience than using SyncBack.

We were spending several thousand dollars a year on backup tapes alone, using a well known brand name back-up software package that was expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, cumbersome to use and frankly, unreliable.

I download and tried the SyncBack free version and configured it to back-up to a network accessible drive (Buffalo Tera-station NAS), and it worked great. I purchased SyncBackSE and I now back-up all of my servers over the network, including also our Web server via FTP to three NAS drives located in three different buildings and it flows flawlessly every night.

I use Fast backup and versioning. I’ve had the need to restore individual files on a few occasions and they were quick and reliable.

I now have more reliable and faster backups for less money and a lot less hassle. SyncBackSE also plays an important role in our overall disaster recovers plans.

Thanks and keep up the good work."

InfoHesiveEP: I'm Excited

"InfoHesiveEP certainly has caught my interest, and I personally am rather excited about it.

... [InfoHesiveEP] has a number of very appealing features. In the left sidebar, one creates a hierarchical outline of the e-book. Each outline topic becomes a separate section of the book. I discovered that it’s also easy to play around with various page sizes, and one can choose between portrait and landscape orientation. Within minutes, I created an outline for an e-book about playing the harmonica which I’ve had in mind for months, and I have also arrived at a perfect format for online reading, a medium page size in landscape format which shows the entire page on a computer screen. I’ve just written the introduction within the software, setting up the default font and style for this emerging book. Next, I’ll import a few RTF documents I’ve already written, containing about a third of the eventual book’s content.

As I work on this e-book, I will also have the comfort knowing that the software automatically keeps backups, with as many past versions as I wish, in case I need to roll back. That alone is a very valuable feature.

... another useful and affordable tool for writers seeking to publish their work."

If only all software could be designed this well

"I have been using SyncBackSE for over 6 months. I think this is one of the best software products I've ever used. I can tell you really thought through the design - and likely took user feedback as well - to make a product that is very well engineered in function and usability. I can do the backups exactly the way I want without compromise due to design limitations. If only all software could be designed this well.

Not only is the product well designed, you have excellent documentation. And I appreciate the work you do to document changes and fixes incorporated in each version update.

I worked for IBM for 30 years - over 20 working with many software products."

John Calatayud, SyncBackSE User

One of the best designed programs I've ever used

"I'm just starting to use SyncBackSE on my desktop PC, and I am really impressed with the product. My company will likely be replacing other file-backup and folder-sync programs on our servers with SyncBackSE. Absolutely everything I need to do is just so well thought-out and simple. I've been designing software for over 30 years, and this is one of the best-designed programs I've ever used."

The Gold Standard

"First and foremost, SyncBack SE is probably the very best software application I have licensed in terms of functionality, stability, and value for my investment dollar. I have recommended many friends and clients alike, and for each client I have, I require it to be licensed on the production machines I run my software on. The Personal Use license covering 5 PCs is more than fair, and the $30 per PC for business use represents a tremendous value for my clients and myself.

For the record, I do have multiple PCs at my home. But I use many of them for business as well as personal use. I opted to take the High Road, and licensed one SyncBack SE application for each PC, as opposed to splitting hairs. I did this because not only is it the right thing to do, but because at $30 each, and getting the protection I am gaining, it would be incredibly greedy of me to do anything other than be more than fair with your company. Your licensing model is one I point to often with others when it comes to setting the Gold Standard of value, and then some, from a software development firm. Great job, folks, excellent product."

Gilbert M Hale, SyncBackSE User

Outstanding Software and Customer Care

"I recently downloaded the free trial and then purchased SyncBackSE. I was immediately impressed by the software. It downloaded and installed easily - no problems, no moments wondering what option to pick, and no reboots.

At the "expert" level, the software has tons of options. I didn't feel ready for that, so I thought I'd just try an initial backup at the default level. The software was very intuitive, and guided me through the process. About the time when a new user wonders, "oh man, I wonder if this is going to work...", the software suggests doing a trial run. It does that, tells you that it was successful and asks if you want to run the backup. So I did, and it worked great. It even reassures you, showing the log that it has been done.

That gave me enough confidence to dig in a little deeper. I knew I needed to go further, because there is data kept in various more obscure folders. There is lots of helpful information on the 2BrightSparks website, but I still had a couple of questions, so I started a support ticket. Even this process was wonderful! Putting in a service ticket is its own intuitive process, gently guiding a new user. Suggesting that it make a zipped copy of the settings the user has in SyncBackSE. All the user need do is click, agreeing to this, and the support process makes the zip file and puts it on the desktop. The user then enters whatever questions and at the bottom clicks another button which attaches the zip file. Talk about user friendly!!

I received the usual auto-response advising me that someone would be in touch the next day. O. K., here's hoping. Very promptly, a well thought-out reply came in. Answering ALL of my questions and making some suggestions. WOW! I was impressed. The technician included links for further information, and closed, noting that he'd close the ticket (since it did answer all my questions), but that I shouldn't hesitate to reopen it if I had more.

This would be amazing enough, but it doesn't stop here.

Today, (a day after the first response), I received an email from another technician with some additional thoughts (a "small addition" as it was called).

I've been using computers since the MS-Dos days and the Internet since it began. I've experienced customer care of this depth and quality only a few times in all those years.

Your software and your people are outstanding! Thank you for a great experience! I've been looking for a good backup solution for a long time."

A Very Satisfied Customer For Over Three Years

It's a pleasure to use each and everytime and, as a graphic designer, I find it runs quietly in the background whilst I get on with keeping my clients happy.

Thank you for developing software that simply gets on and does the job... well!

SyncBackSE: Simpler and More Reliable

"I've used Microsoft's SyncToy, but got terribly annoyed with it's peculiarities. Especially, when syncing documents and files between two computers (desktop and laptop), it requires me to create the folder pair all over again if I use a different USB memory stick than before!

I went to SyncBackSE, which is much simpler and more reliable to use. In addition, SyncBack SE can handle excessively long filenames ... a problem a friend of mine frequently has.

I've installed it on 3 computers, and twice on a USB stick. I plan to install it on my sister's computer tomorrow, so I've purchased another license. Your license terms are quite generous, and I don't want to abuse that by exceeding my quota."

Timothy Rusco, SyncBackSE User

This totally saved me!

"From time to time, everyone experiences computer problems. I had some BIG ones that caused a significant amount of data loss.

I didn't really know where to turn. After trying a lot of different things, I tried UndeleteOnClick. It worked when other programs wouldn't.

Thanks a bunch!"

Two Bright Sparks in software development means one great backup tool

"When it comes to backup, I see a few key areas that need to work well. It needs to be scheduled, it needs to spot changes and back them up, it needs to be unobtrusive, and it needs to be reliable. SyncBackSE does that without even breathing hard...

The best feature of all for me, is hinted at in the name. It's called SyncBackSE not BACKUPSE or BackBackSE. It has got a full set of features designed to keep a couple of machines synchronized if you want. For me, that means my laptop and my workstation can have the same development source files, environments, and documents on them with ease!"

The most superior back up program I have ever seen

"I downloaded SyncBack Freeware... in two days I progressed to SyncBackSE and then purchased it.

I am computer literate and am very demanding on my software. Your freeware is absolutely superb and the SE version is even better. I have used many different backup programs in my years. My first computer was a commodore 64 and I saved data to cassette tape.

SyncBack, both free and paid for versions, is by far the most superior back up program I have ever seen. It is easy to use for those that don't want to delve into complicated backups and is basically limitless in its settings if I use the expert mode.

Congratulations where it is due... my hat off to you for such a program that is so competitively priced also. I will be telling all my friends about this software."

SyncBack SE... A Software Gem

The finest, most complete and intuitive piece of software I have ever seen

"I stumbled upon your software a couple of days ago and am sure glad I did. I have been searching for a decent backup program to replace handy backup, which likes to crash a little too often. I'm very particular about my software and will spend hours searching for the right utility or program etc. I have also tried no hands backup, genie and a few others.

I have 5 computers and spend far too much time on them. I use a myriad of software. After playing with your program for a day or two now, I have to say it may be the finest, most complete and intuitive piece of software I have ever seen - and I have seen a hell of a lot. I use my computer for everything. Absolutely everything is there, totally intuitive with no perusing the help file to figure out anything. WOW. Vegas Video has been at the top of my list but you guys have usurped them. The only thing I can come up (and it sure is minor) with that could be added is something I saw with genie that i liked - a quick right click on the tray icon with a option there to perform a quick backup - nice but far far from essential. The only thing that remains is to check stability - so far so great...

I will be purchasing your software. PS - perhaps you guys could put out an OS, and beat microsoft to the punch..."

Backup Via the Internet with SyncBackSE

"Since a few weeks I am using SyncBackSE to run the backups of our primairy WWW, MySQL and POP3/IMAP/SMTP services. The program is really working like a charm and it seems that it is fully featured in a way only production-ready / mature programs are.

I am really happy with the software, it is worth every Euro-cent".

SyncBack: I Am Speechless

"I am honestly speechless. I downloaded the freeware version of your SyncBack program after I found out the IT dorks at my office were not backing up any of the files stored locally on my PC.

The program is tiny, simple, and wonderful! I happen to have a .mac account, which includes ample online disk space; I was able to use your program to automatically back up my local files on a set schedule. I know this sounds obvious - but I am just stunned - SyncBack does exactly what I needed, and it does it WELL. Thank you for making this available - I will definitely be recommending this to friends and colleagues."

SyncBack: Utterly Superb

"Gentlemen, Your SyncBack software is utterly superb. I have been searching for months (and at great expense) to find a solution to keep three computers equally in-sync. Everything I tried was pathetic, that is until I found SyncBack. It does everything I want, fast and efficient. It does other wonderful things that I hadn't thought off but now use regularly.

Your "Wizards" are excellent, they leave no room for doubt. I suggest you send a FREE copy over to Bill Gates, if he has the sense I credit him with, he'll immediately cut you a huge cheque and "Bundle" SyncBack with Windows. Everyone should have this even if they only have one computer. I have retired my "Backup" software and use SyncBack instead. Well done, you have "Raised the Bar"."

Patrick Kennedy, BlueOaks Solutions.

After two months of testing, SyncBackSE came out the best

"I carefully tested/evaluated the different BackUP programs available on the market. After doing so for almost two months, I chose to purchase SyncBackSE and I have not regreted it since.

Apart from the voluminous documentation/tutorials/FAQ's and other support formats that are available for SyncBackSE, I was also impressed with SyncBackSE's ease of setup, built-in scheduling for unattended backups and choice of non compressed as well as compressed backup options.

I have not found one error in any of the backups which I have done with SyncBackSE. And to add gravy to all of this the regular newsletter is informative and reveals some interesting insights.

Keep up the good work and thank you for a great product."

Willy Tamm, SyncBackSE User

SyncBackSE is streets ahead of the competition

"Its rare to see such attention to detail for an application that costs so little. Someone has spent a lot of time thinking of all the "what ifs" and "when will it" scenarios and covered them all. I downloaded and tested 4 applications, SyncBackSE is streets ahead of the competition. Fantastic & well done."

David Wood, SyncBackSE User

My Recommendation: SyncBackSE

"You people really know your business and are extremely efficient. If only the MS & Norton's could be this good, computer use would be a pleasure instead of a chore. Your product will have my recommendation to all I find looking for a simple, easy to use backup program. Keep up the good work."

Pedro Coelho, SyncBackSE User

Finally, Intuitive Synchronization Software that Works

"I have been looking for years for a simple program that did one simple thing - make a copy of my files from one drive to another and keep them synched. Seems simple, right? Hardly. You folks are the only people that seem to have figured out what's up! You have finally made it intuitively easy to do this one simple task while offering a full range of advanced options in one nicely designed piece of software. Thank you!"

"I use your SyncBackSE for all my business files. I have always promised myself that I would back up all my files, but your system does it for me! It was unbelievably easy to set up and it just keeps working. Thanks for a great product at a great price!"

SyncBackSE: A Great Application for Laptop and Desktop Users

"If you are like me and have several computers that you use on a regular basis, SyncBackSE lets you keep the files synchronized. This is a great application for those who have a laptop and desktop. SmartSyncSE is designed to do more than synchronize files, but that feature alone is worth the $20 cost."

SyncBackSE: A Data Backup Lifesaver

You guys are sharp, this software is excellent, and it'll be a data backup lifesaver... worth every cent of $20, and more!

By the way, 4 months ago I had to transport my 2 RAID drives 6 hours and pay $1200 for 240 GB of data recovery (and I got off cheaply)... all because I didn't have SyncBackSE running in the background... I had so much data that I didn't "get around to" backing up most of it, and paid dearly for my foolishness. Ignorance IS expensive and painful.

SyncBackSE forevermore. In fact, it ought to come PRE-loaded on every machine sold... no exceptions. Thanks.

Jeff

Thank You!

Congratulations for the greatest sync-program out there and of course thank you!!

A Great Product

"Last night I read about your software in PC World. This morning I downloaded it.

I have a wireless network in our home with 4 computers and a network storage device attached. I've tried dozens of backup/sync software products. All were a big disappointment. Hands down your stuff is the best I've seen. It is very straight forward. It allows extensive customization. And most importantly it simply works. I've only had to install it on one machine to do backups and syncs on all machines. I can't compliment you enough. Thank you for coming out with such a great product.

I sell VERY expensive software and I know what works and doesn't work. Your stuff works."

Save on Headaches

"Thanks very much for your excellent SyncBack software! I tried a whole bunch of other backup utilities, but none had the polish and features of yours...

Using SyncBack (the freeware version) with great satisfaction. That little program has already saved me many backup-headaches! Thanks!"

Merlijn

Ideal for Students

"Just wanted to say thanks for a great product - I was using XCOPY to keep my university work synchronised between my laptop and PC, but as the work grew it was becoming annoying to delete everything and copy the work over.

Your program has solved my problems and is ideal for students. Keep up the good work :)"

Greg Robson

Complete and Flexible

"I just would like to let you know my gratitude for this GREAT (and still, free !) soft, SyncBack.

It's really a simple, yet powerful, efficient, complete and flexible tool ! So far, probably the best (or, at least, the one which fits best my desires) backup and sync. soft that I ever tried. Without SyncBack, making syncs and backups was a true nightmare : I own a desktop pc and a laptop pc (tied one to each other through Wifi), and I'm fond of digital photo : so, you can imagine.... But now, everything is cool...

Thank you for this nice piece of soft (it really deserves to be more widely known), and keep up the good job !"

Simple to Use

"Very clear, very obvious, you don’t need to be very up with computers to use."

Blog Review

"SyncBack is freeware that I found on the internet while looking for cost effective software to do mass file copies on a scheduled routine. This software does all the work for me. Just setup a basic profile and you can synchronize anything... files, folders, drives, etc. SyncBack will run as a background process or as a scheduled task. It has a list of features that are unbelievable!"

Brilliant

"Its brilliant. I have just scrapped my (paid for) copy of Synchromagic for this!"

Good Work

"This is beautifully designed and much needed software! Keep up the good work!"

60 Seconds: Up and Running

"60 seconds to get it up and working implies to me that this product is very intuitive. I didn't read any help or manuals on the product. I just gave my two directories, simulated the run and then did the run."

Use SyncBack Everywhere

I use this software all the time EVERYWHERE!

This software is a great great tool for me. I like to keep my pictures from my digital camera backed up to a DVD. Before using this tool I had to do it all manually. Now all I have to do is stick in the dvd and run the sync profile. Thanks, I saw this tool in The Langalist.

Great Software

"SyncBack is great software. Keep it up. Thank you for making it freeware."

Great App

"Great app, good luck to you in your future coding efforts."

Great Product

"Thanks for such a great product and trusting license structure."

Nice Stuff

"Have tried SyncBack and love it. Just downloaded update. Nice stuff"

Wonderful Program

"I think that SyncBack is tremendous. I have just discovered the cscript function. Thanks for a wonderful program."

Backup & Sync

"Syncback: this is the backup and synchronize program that does the work for me the way I want. Thanks!"

School Backup

"As a school we are always looking for good economically price software. We usually can't afford enterprise edition software even though we have enough data and users to require it. I am very impressed by the freeware version!!!"

Excellent Wizard

"I downloaded your product from a google search to compare two directories recursively. I tried about 4 product options and yours was the easiest to setup and run. It probably took me all of 60 seconds to get it running and most of that was browsing to the two directory points I wanted to compare. And it did the synchronisation perfectly. The Profile Type wizard was excellent. The simulation option was excellent as it showed what would happen. In my view not bad for someone who is one the other side of 50 (I'm 52)."

Awesome Utility

"An ex coworker of mine had this application and i spent a long time looking for it. I found it and man does it rock. It syncs your files so effortlessly and you get plenty of options to pass to it as well. I use this to sync my college homework from my Memorex USB Thumbdrive to my hard drive here at home. Its hard to believe something this incredible is freeware."

Saved my Bacon

"I used a older version, set it, forgot about it for almost a year. Used a old Zip 100 for the backup. During a defrag, my virus scanner popped up, locked, and yes crashed Win XP. Had to "reload Windows." My daughter freaked out, all her college documents, and worst yet photos from a old digital camera we no longer have. It worked, had her stuff, my bookmarks, yeah. I am a middle aged fart, trust me, easy to use without doing anything cosmic."

This is all you need

"Been looking around for something to sync my documents between my desktop and laptop, and I found it. Works wonders... and it is freeware. No need to look any further."

Great!!

"Does exactly what you would expect synchronising software to do. I am synchronising across a network and does it perfectly. Can run in the background or scheduled to run at a set time.
Just the Ticket!"

Excellent!

"Very good! Easy to use and at the same time advanced. 0-time learning. I am a developer and I am impressed"

The Perfect Backup and Sync Buddy

"Not only that you get a professional application for free with reliable functionality and loads of bells and whistles. You have the chance to share your thoughts and ideas in the developer's forum and so you can be part of the ongoing success.

10 out of 5 stars if it were possible!"

Awesome

"I did not search for freeware backup tools, i just wanted a good one. i tried at first many shareware ones, none was good enough (not enough features). i tried some freeware ones... as i expected ... they were not so good, but ... syncback was unexpectedly VERY good compared to all others. i'm currently using it :).

Love it!

"This software is great. I must have tried 6 other sync software products. Had issues with them all. This one since it is freeware allowed me to set it up and get it working, test it out free of charge.. once i decide it it worked good for me I sent the guy a small payment. I'm not even sure if i will use it forever, I was just so happy I could get it to do what I wanted!. I use it to back up and sync between desktop and laptop. Trying weekly sync/back up of docs, and photos, and doing sync on start up/ every 30min for laptop of bookmarks and outlook.pst from desktop. Very good program."

Excellent program...

"If you work on peoples computers a lot and here them wine that they lost those important pictures of their baby. Then give them this program. It can be set up to do the backing up for you. I love the automation. People always tell me they don't have time to backup or it is such a hassle. Now there is no excuse!!!"

Just great...

"This program does sync/backup in a real efficient manner. I can hardly think of something better."

Excellent sync and backup tool!...

"This is a sweet program, easy to understand (a minor miracle for me in regards to backup programs); allows a preview of which files will and won't be copied or synched thru a simulated run. Gives you choices on just about everything possible, from compression level to backup location. You can also tell it to add or skip any file extensions or names you want. SyncBack uses the Windows' scheduler,another easy program. Thanks to the developers for such a great piece of software!!"

Nice tool...

"Excellent tool to sync your files,with ftp access and all you need... great."

Excellent...

"There is only one word that can describe this program. EXCELLENT. I have been using it in various versions for a number of years and has proven to be very reliable."

Excellent and very thoughtful features...

"Excellent piece of freeware. I am using it on WinXPpro and W2K OS. The group profile is excellent for grouping the various individual profiles (Source/Destination pairs & Type of Activities). Features are comprehensive for all backup/synchronization tasks. The Custom features allows me to set single or bi-directional backup/synch. Thanks to the 2 Bright Sparks for your contributions."

The Best...

"I have tried many back up utilities and used Syncback since version 2xxxx and it still stands out of the crowd, in terms of reliability and ease of use. Top notch software."

Brilliant

"I have looked around for a file sync program that is intuitive and effective and this is it! It offers a wide range of options all clearly spelt out. I recommend this program!"
