Q: How do I upgrade / update my existing SyncBackPro, SyncBackSE, SyncBackFree, FindOnClick, UndeleteOnClick, etc. installation?

If you are upgrading to a new version simply install over your current installation, i.e. install it to the same folder it is already installed in. Do not uninstall first otherwise you will lose your settings.

If you are upgrading from SyncBackFree to SyncBackSE simply install SyncBackSE (not to the same folder as SyncBackFree) and when SyncBackSE is first run it will automatically import all your SyncBackFree profiles and settings. You can now uninstall SyncBackFree if you wish.

If you are upgrading from SyncBackFree to SyncBackPro simply install SyncBackPro (not to the same folder as SyncBackFree) and when SyncBackPro is first run it will automatically import all your SyncBackFree profiles and settings. You can now uninstall SyncBackFree if you wish.

If you are upgrading from SyncBackSE to SyncBackPro simply install SyncBackPro (not to the same folder as SyncBackSE) and when SyncBackPro is first run it will automatically import all your SyncBackSE profiles. You can now uninstall SyncBackSE if you wish.

Note: automated profile imports will not include any Schedule information (to avoid double-triggering in both versions, if you leave the older version installed). You would need to delete the Schedules in the older version and re-Schedule the profiles in the newer version (if you want to maintain the Scheduling). Manual Exports from SyncBackFree, SyncBackSE or SyncBackPro will contain a copy of any Schedule (bear in mind the Export may be for backup purposes), and the Schedule info will be Imported manually with the profile if you 'complete the process' of performing such transfers manually. This means you could conceivably have Schedules (set for the same trigger date/times) in two versions of SyncBack at the same time. Moral: if you migrate profiles between SyncBack versions, and do not uninstall the superfluous version/s, always check all versions for Schedules (if desired) and re-instate and/or delete any that should or should not be present.
