For example, if you delete a file and change your mind later. Versioning will keep copies of files before they are replaced, deleted, or moved. Files that are changed on the work computer are also changed on the home computer (and vice versa). For instance, say you have a work computer and a home computer and you want to synchronize a folder between them. SyncBackPro supports the creation of synchronization profiles, which will keep an exact replica of files and folders on two different locations. I found it helpful because with so many options to choose from, it’s not always clear how they impact the speed of your backups. The performance window shows you everything that’s slowing down your profile (such as compression), and things you can do to speed it up. The same can’t be said for backup software that uses proprietary compression formats.

Since these are open formats, you can retrieve your data using any program that opens these files. SyncBackPro supports backing up to ZIP, bzip, and LZMA archives. This saves a lot of time, especially on slower destinations such as FTP or network shares.

It will remember which files have been previously backed up, instead of having to scan the destination each time. With Fast Backup enabled, SyncBackPro will not scan the destination before running the profile. SyncBackPro’s profile setup window on Expert mode shows all the different options. Profiles can be set to run manually or on a schedule. Each profile must contain a Source (the files and folders to be backed up) and a Destination (where they should be backed up to).

SyncBackPro uses profiles to backup and restore your files. It will also ask if you want to view an introduction to SyncBackPro, with links to tutorials such as “My First Backup.” This is useful for users unfamiliar with the SyncBack ways of backing up.įinally, it will ask you to enter your serial number, or start a free 30-day trial of the program.
