New Articles at 2BrightSparks

Since our last newsletter we have published several new articles that focus on the setup, usage examples and benefits of SyncBack Touch. In addition, we have also published a guide on how to set up profiles connecting to cloud services like Google Drive as well as ransomware protection and SFTP authentication.

Creating a SyncBack Touch Profile

Using SyncBack Touch to backup your devices could not be any simpler. You can backup to a Touch device or synchronize files with a Touch device. In this article, we will explain how to create a SyncBack Touch backup profile.

Example Uses for SyncBack Touch

By installing SyncBack Touch on a supported device (that is running Windows, macOS or Android) and used together with SyncBackPro or SyncBackSE, SyncBack Touch can be used to access the device’s files via the network. In this article, we give some examples of how to use SyncBack Touch.

SyncBack Touch as an Alternative to FTP

As a network protocol established since the 1970s, FTP is an old standard that had undergone several revisions which has led to numerous problems and compatibility issues due to fragmented implementation of the FTP standard. This article discusses the benefits of using SyncBack Touch in place of FTP.

How to Backup to Cloud Services like Google Drive

SyncBackPro can backup, restore and synchronize files with a number of cloud services, including Google Drive. In this article, we will show you how to create a profile to backup to Google Drive. The same steps can be used with other cloud services, e.g. Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.

Protecting Yourself from Ransomware

As anti-virus providers and security professionals continue to make progress against malware on a daily basis, hackers have been looking for more inventive methods of maintaining or increasing their revenue without relying on standard credit card fraud techniques. The result of this effort has come in the form of ransomware, which encrypts the victim’s data and demanding payment in exchange for a decryption key. This article discusses the malicious nature of ransomware and how you can use SyncBackPro or SyncBackSE to minimize the risk of data loss against such attacks.

SFTP Authentication Using Public/Private Keys

This article outlines the basics of SFTP and the various authenticating methods a user can use to connect to an SFTP server with the use of public and private keys.
