## Overview

### Key benefits of SyncBackPro

SyncBackPro offers a comprehensive, flexible, and reliable solution for all your data backup, synchronization, and recovery needs. Built for both individuals and businesses, SyncBackPro has been continually enhanced since 2003 and stands as one of the most feature-rich and trusted backup tools for Windows.&#10;&#10;1. Peace of Mind Through Reliable Data Protection&#10;&#10;Data loss can occur due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, ransomware, or system corruption. SyncBackPro ensures your data is backed up securely and efficiently. With features like versioning, incremental backups, and intelligent synchronization, users are safeguarded against both minor mistakes and major disasters.&#10;&#10;2. Versatile Backup and Synchronization Options&#10;&#10;Whether you need to perform one-way backups, intelligent two-way synchronization, or mirroring, SyncBackPro adapts to your needs. It supports local drives, external storage, network shares, FTP/SFTP servers, and a wide range of cloud services including Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Azure, and Backblaze B2.&#10;&#10;3. Centralized Management and Monitoring&#10;&#10;For enterprise users, SyncBackPro supports centralized management through the SyncBack Management System (SBMS), allowing administrators to monitor, deploy, and control multiple installations across a network. This is especially beneficial in managed IT environments where consistency and visibility are critical.&#10;&#10;4. SyncBack Touch Integration&#10;&#10;SyncBack Touch, free for SyncBackPro users, enables backup to and from devices running Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. This extends the reach of your backup strategy beyond traditional PCs, enabling easy data protection for mobile and cross-platform environments.&#10;&#10;5. Advanced Automation and Scheduling&#10;&#10;You can schedule backups and syncs to run automatically using the Windows Task Scheduler. Profiles can also be triggered by events such as login, logout, USB insertion, or file changes. Background and continuous backup options ensure data protection without interrupting your workflow.&#10;&#10;6. Open and Locked File Backup&#10;&#10;Unlike many backup tools, SyncBackPro can back up files even while they are open or in use, such as Outlook PST files, databases, or system files, thanks to its integration with the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).&#10;&#10;7. Enhanced Security and Compliance&#10;&#10;SyncBackPro includes advanced encryption features (AES up to 256-bit), secure transfer protocols (FTPS, SFTP), and password protection for stored profiles. Sensitive information such as passwords can be securely managed with the integrated Secrets Manager. These features support compliance with data protection standards and best practices.&#10;&#10;8. Highly Configurable and Scriptable&#10;&#10;Advanced users can take advantage of the scripting engine to customize behavior before, during, or after profile runs. SyncBackPro supports scripting in Basic and Pascal, allowing integration with other systems or automation frameworks.&#10;&#10;9. Detailed Logging and Reporting&#10;&#10;Comprehensive logging ensures complete transparency and accountability for every backup task. SyncBackPro includes customizable log files (plain text or HTML), real-time email alerts, and even SysLog integration for enterprise environments.&#10;&#10;10. Exceptional Support and Documentation&#10;&#10;Users of SyncBackPro benefit from extensive support resources including a searchable help file, user guides, a knowledge base, video tutorials, and a responsive ticket-based support system. Upgrade Assurance subscribers enjoy priority support and free major version updates.&#10;&#10;11. Cost-Effective Licensing&#10;&#10;SyncBackPro is available under a perpetual licensing model, once you buy it, it's yours to use indefinitely. Optional Upgrade Assurance provides peace of mind with free major version upgrades and priority support. There are no forced subscriptions or usage limits.&#10;&#10;Whether you're a home user seeking a straightforward backup tool or an IT professional managing a fleet of devices, SyncBackPro is the answer.

## Reviews

### "used to be my goto syncing option" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *November 14, 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: great defaults, and ability to tweak for different kinds of syncing&#10;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&#10;it was 'another' program to run, kind of clunky using windows task manager + permissions to get it to work smoothly
> 
> 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.  &#10;&#10;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. &#10;&#10;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.

### "Robust and Affordable Backup Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Steve** | *December 2, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Flawless integration with Amazon SSS and local NAS.  Always adding new features. Great support\!
> 
> **Cons**: The number of options available for each profile can appear daunting. However, the Help file provides a thorough explanation of each
> 
> I've been using this for just over 10 years now and have been impressed with all it's capabilities. It has many options available and can be configured to adapt to the way YOU do things.  It's performed flawlessly and gives me the peace of mind I need, knowing that I have both onsite and offsite backup for all my critical files.

### "SyncBack Pro issues" — 4.0/5

> **Howard** | *November 19, 2020* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is good for backup on most of your harddrives.  Migrating info from your C-Drive does have some issues.  One would think that "migrate" would transfer all information from your C-Drive onto the target.  It doesn't.  And, when one attempts to do so, an error message will result.  This leaves one to go through all the error messages and disallow their entry in the search mode.  This is both time consuming and shouldn't be expected if the program were to really "migrate" information on the source drive onto the target.
> 
> **Cons**: As indicated in the above statement.  Rather than an error message in Migrating a C-drive to a target drive, it'd be nice to indicate which specific item the program won't copy to make it easier for the user to disqualify those possible error messages items in the selection process to eliminate them from the search, thus eliminate the errors.
> 
> Besides error messages in a C-Drive backup, all other drives back up easily.

### "I have worked with it, very understandable and easy to use" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *June 13, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: helps me synchronize my files in a safe way so they can be shared encrypted and really ease to use, gives me details if any of my profiles fails, let me control each profile for a specific use, can back up really fast, tasks can be schedule
> 
> **Cons**: Icons can be more intuitive, should be able to set 2 IPs at a time, so no need to change once servers are changed
> 
> this product has help me to manage several profiles, it's not an expensive product and can be easily managed by personal who doesn't have that much experience, gives me important details, helps me schedule tasks, the information is safe, since files can be encrypted.

### "Syncback pro is really great program lets you configure several profiles for different purpouse" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *July 26, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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
> 
> 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.
