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

Syncback pro is really great program lets you configure several profiles for different purpouse

it`s a really great product it has allowed me to keep only one user and so I can control who access to it, can configure several profiles and lets me have different schedule per each one, my files are safe since they can be share encrypted.

PROS

Syncback pro helps me synchronize my files in a safe way and they can be encrypted, so it gives me security for them, helps control each profile and tasks can be schedule, its great and avoids to have many users instead there is only one

CONS

some features should be more intuitive and I would like to set 2 different IP at the time so when we switch to DRC would be easier

SyncBack Pro: a lean, simple, highly effective backup solution

SyncBack allows me to know with complete confidence that my files are safely backed up in a form that I can easily access and easily check for completeness. I really like the simplicity and accessibility of SyncBack. It's so easy for me to run a backup manually each day, and check it for completeness when it's done. I have a couple of different profiles to serve different purposes and this gives me complete control over the resources used.

PROS

I've been using SyncBack for years because it offers a lean, efficient, simple and straightforward way to automate backup of my files by just copying them to another location. Other backup programs may have more sophisticated features, but having tried several of them, I much prefer SyncBack for its simplicity, ease of use, and clarity.

CONS

Nothing is missing -- SyncBack offers plenty of flexibility and power.

Reasons for switching to SyncBackPro

I prefer the simplicity and accessibility of SyncBack. It's so easy for me to run a backup manually each day, and check it for completeness when it's done. Acronis TrueImage was much more complex and automated and also much more opaque, and I disliked that.

Excellent product

I do daily backups to another drive and weekly backups to Google Drive, as well as daily backup of Android SD card and internal memory (like Camera pictures sometimes get saved internally by accident). Works great!

PROS

Ease of use, easy to also set-up versionning, preview the results and schedule. Syncing to Google Drive was easy.Also great that it can backup MTP devices too like Android! (and toss a warning if the phone isn't plugged in)

CONS

Only thing I can think of, can't figure out how to send desktop notifications if "profile hasn't been ran since x days" (also, should allow exceptions per profile. My Android SD card isn't as critical, just Music). Should be present somewhere, I missed it ?

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.

CONS

None. Not often you can say that about a piece of software!

An essential program

In the legal profession, lawyers are required to have reliable, safe and secure backups. To backup everything manually is time consuming and fraught with possible errors. Some backup programs will overwrite newer versions of files with older versions, which can be a disaster. SyncBackPro makes the backup process easy and secure. It is fast, reliable, and backs up perfectly. It's one of a few programs I couldn't do without.

PROS

The product is easy to use, reliable, and beats anything similar in the market.

CONS

None noted. I have no negative comments.
