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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThere'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
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.
CONSJust 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.
PROSBecause 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.
CONSBecause 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.
PROSgreat defaults, and ability to tweak for different kinds of syncing easy to install, didn't get in the way
CONSi 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.
PROSSyncback 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
CONSsome 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.
PROSI'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.
CONSNothing is missing -- SyncBack offers plenty of flexibility and power.

Happy user
I have always been satisfied with SyncBack Pro. I used the free version for a long time, but the Pro version is really adapted to my needs. I use it to backup my personal PC, on which I have several working disks. More and more of my life is stored there, especially thousands of family photos. But as a former CIO, I'm a bit paranoid about the security of my data, and I do backups on several drives and a NAS.
PROSThis software is very easy to use. I had no problem installing it and setting it up according to my needs. After using it to back up my professional workstation, I now use it for my personal home computer, which is even more valuable than the one at work!
CONSI have a hard time finding any negative points. The task planning could be a little bit more user-friendly.

An efficient easy to use sync program
I have used SyncBackPro since version 5 and I have always been happy with it. It efficiently keeps four different computers synced and it is flexible enough that it is easy to sync just what I need with each computer. It has automatic backup settings so my files are backed up to Dropbox and a local disk every night. It works well with Box, too. Version 9 has easy to interpret graphics and works well.
CONSEvery so often, I need to delete the file database in SyncBackPro when it takes a long time to identify changed files when I sync with Dropbox, but once I do it is fine.
