The Main Window

 

SyncBackPro is a simple program to use with many options and user definable parameters. The program is perfect for the novice and expert alike.

 

All the essential tasks in SyncBackPro can be carried out from the main window by clicking an icon on the lower toolbar:

 

button-menu

 

 

SyncBackPro also has a menu at the top of the window that provides easy access to all its functions, and a right click pop-up menu that is available when a profile is highlighted:

 

top-toolbar

 

 

At the top-left is also a burger menu burger, which when clicked, has further options:

 

main-burger-menu

 

 

The main window below shows SyncBackPro running a backup 'Profile' called Website:

 

main-window-run

 

 

Once a Profile has been defined, the user need only click the Run button to carry out the task. Alternatively the Profile can be scheduled to run at certain times and dates:

 

run-restore-schedule

 

 

Changing the Order of Profiles in a Group

 

When you expand a group in the main window, the profiles in the group are listed under it in the order they are run. You can change that order by dragging a profile up or down within the group. A line shows where the profile will be placed when you release the mouse button. If you hold the mouse near the top or bottom edge of the list, the list scrolls. The new order is saved straight away, so there is no need to modify the group.

 

This also works for group queues. An entry in a group queue keeps its run type when it is moved. For example, an entry that runs a profile as an integrity check is still run as an integrity check after it is moved.

 

Note the following:

•The order cannot be changed if the group is set to run its profiles in parallel, as the order has no effect in that case.

•You can move one profile at a time, and only within its own group. Dropping a profile on a different group does nothing. You cannot add a profile to a group by dragging it.

•Nothing happens if the group is running, or if you are not allowed to change profiles (for example, because of a group policy).

•If the group is password protected, you are asked for its password before the new order is saved.

•If the group was changed elsewhere after the list was displayed, the order is not changed and the list is refreshed to show the saved order.

 

Dragging a profile out of the main window to the desktop or File Explorer still creates a shortcut to it.
