Full-featured backup software with simple user interface

I use SyncBackPro on a daily basis to backup network drives and folders and I haven't had any issues with the software. Once I have setup a backup profile I can pretty much forget about it and feel confident that all of my data is being backed up, and if I ever need to make a change to a profile it's really easy to modify the profile with the changes I need.

PROS

The thing I like most about SyncBackPro is that it is easy to use and it provides a variety of features that can be utilized by any user.

CONS

There's not really anything I dislike about SyncBackPro, it offers all of the features I need and it has a simple user interface that is easy to use.

Excellent backup and sync tool

PROS

I've been using SyncBackPro for years. They have a variety of versions, including a free one. If you need more features, such as backing up to OneDrive for Business, you'll need to move into a paid version. This software makes it very easy to schedule syncing or backing up to another drive (even external drives) as well as to online storage sites. People forget to do backups, so automating this is key. There is a tremendous amount of versatility in how you configure the software, for example just copying to another locations, or keeping two folders in sync. Give the free version a try to test it out.

CONS

Just carefully look at and review options to make sure you are making the best choice for your backup or sync.

Customer support s***ks!

It is terrible! Customer service is abysmal. I do not have time to mess around with setting the program's sync profile. It will not recognize the code sent by Microsoft to verify the setup for OneDrive. Consequently, I cannot fully evaluate the program. You must submit requests through email rather than chat or speak with a real person for assistance. Being a solo businessness owner, I do not have the office time to be administrator of a computer and run my business.

PROS

Because of their horrible customer service, I cannot comment. I sincerely wish I could because what I have read and see, it appears to be very user friendly.

CONS

Because of their horrible customer service, I cannot comment.

Reason for choosing SyncBackPro

Highly recommended by a friend. They have obviously had better luck with the product than I have had.

Vendor Response

Hi, I'm sorry you had a bad experience but I'm confused as your last response to us was: "Thank you for your help. The program appears to be working fine now. I will have to run the full profile once to back everything up to be certain." That was on 11th January. If you are still having problems you can reply to the ticket or email us again and we'd be happy to help. Thanks

used to be my goto syncing option

After researching and testing lots of different syncing solutions, SyncBackPro was easily my favorite, had the right mix of source and destination options, backup/mirror/sync type operations, and automating was doable. I think I really only quit using it when Dropbox came out and I completely changed how and what i synced up. For work network vs local folder, FTP and remote files, SyncBack basically did everything I needed. Now i just don't bother syncing most of that, I have my local stuff backed up to Dropbox or other cloud syncing services, automatic and near real-time. If the system has it available, i'll use rsync and a cron job. I will still use SyncBack for anything that doesn't fit those use cases because it really does have all the functionality you need for either direct backups, mirroring folders between two locations, excluding some file types, pretty much anything you can think of.

PROS

great defaults, and ability to tweak for different kinds of syncing easy to install, didn't get in the way

CONS

i think i had some issues between the free and pro, they switched something between times i used it and a free feature was no longer available, so i had to upgrade to pro it was 'another' program to run, kind of clunky using windows task manager + permissions to get it to work smoothly

CONS

Independant Photographer where Safe Backup is imperative

PROS

It took a few minutes to see how the program held together and what was needed for a good setup. I'm a geek as well, but I didn't need to use the manual once to see how this all worked. I really like the way that you can group together backup profiles, and by doing that you can set the "backup time" individually / group. The other well thought out feature is the ability to backup files from one (or more) remote machine(s) to the NAS device. (I'm using a WD EXT ultra drive). So I'm able to backup my web sites from a Ubuntu server using SAMBA, nice and easily. So my setup is: Group 1 - linux backup every 15 days (that's how often I backup my websites using VirtualMin), Group2 - normal PC backup every 2 days, Single Profile using Sync and backup continuous, for the disk I have my local storage for photographs .

CONS

Strangely the only thing I don't like is you accidentally close the program by using the top bar "X". This could be a good place to go back in time and have a "Are You Sure" check box! :)

Reason for choosing SyncBackPro

Because of a massive mess that Acronis made, that made it impossible to install the upgrade that I purchased from within their own tool,to their web site upgrade page. Acronis support was no help at all, kept telling me I had ordered incorrectly. I ended up writing to their Support Manager and I was sent a very nice apology, explaining it was not me but basically "very bad support". The good news was, by Monday I had found this software.

Reasons for switching to SyncBackPro

Wanted to try something that gave me far more control, and accidentally found it.

Vendor Response

Thanks Nigel, we really appreciate your feedback! For closing the window, you can change that in the Preferences settings (Minimize on Close).

Review Of Syncback Pro

I have been using Syncback for over 10 years. First in a large university setting in which I was responsibility for securing data for over 50 research bases computers used in multimillion dollar research projects. In the 10 years plus I have been using the software I have not had any trouble with the software. On multiple occasion there were hard drive failures and I was able to get a new hard drive up and running and restore all data in a short amount of time. I also use Syncback on my personal video production systems I use while producing music videos.

PROS

Syncback Pro is a very cost effective program with all the features you will need to safely secure you data. Saving your information in the cloud or to a second hard drive on you local machine is very easy to set up.

CONS

I have not found any features of Syncback that I found lacking.

Essential tool to keep me moving

High powered but also easy to use and customize. Also easy to set up on new machines.

PROS

The sync features are essential for my workflow and lifestyle. I use SyncBack to sync computers at work and at home. SyncBack keeps the computers effectively identical in terms of usefulness, with years of files and emails readily available wherever I am. This is especially important because I use a local email client (Thunderbird) and have many GB of email stored locally. SyncBack keeps it all sync’d. As a result I can run and bike to work without lugging a device!

PROS

I've been using SyncBack for over 10 years now, it has never failed once in that time. We use it to backup various servers and shares and most recently to sync a website. The software is very easy to use, the user interface is a dream - a lot of thought has gone into making the wizards straight-forward and easy to use. I like the Easy mode and Expert mode to hide settings unless you need them.
