  The software works perfectly when backup many folders to external disk automatically. It can identify the external disk, even the external disk is mounted to a different drive letter!

  Cons

  So far, I haven't found anything.

  Summary

  Excellent program for backup folder to external disk.

  "Free feature is enough for backup files"

  February 5, 2012  |   By Albert-33

  Version: BestSync 2012 (64-bit) 7.0.22

  Pros

  The free feature is enough for backup local files, and has fewer limitations than other "Free" software. It can filter files by wild card patterns, include or exclude some sub-folders. Even backup all the files that will be deleted or overwritten before synchronization.
  Advanced features are selectable by select license types.

  Cons

  No dislike

  Summary

  Free, enough

  "Nothing special or new, no remote backup unless you pay"

  January 20, 2012  |   By QPhysics

  Version: BestSync 2012 (64-bit) 7.0.20

  Pros

  Fast
  Through
  Lots of options

  Cons

  Lots of options (too many, laid out on too many pages, sometimes you find out only later that in order to turn on the feature you want on this page, you should have checked some option three or four pages back.)
  
  No remote backup unless you buy a paid version.

  Summary

  If you want to back up to a remote site, you have to pay for one of the premium versions. FreeFileSync does backup to remote and is free.
  
  It's no faster or more complete than any number of free options out there.
  
  The setup is excruciatingly complicated. Page after page of options, and many of the options require you to go to another page and turn something on or off there then come back.

  Pros

  Free version

  Limited more than I would use.

  "Sync Never Fully Completed"

  August 16, 2011  |   By u2rcrazy

  Version: BestSync 2012 (64-bit) 6.2.25

  Pros

  It had nice looks

  Cons

  Every time I would try to sync between my computer and network drive, it would freeze up. I tried many times with many restarts to no avail.

  Summary

  I "Removed" the program and I'm trying another.
  
  P.S. Previously I experienced good performance with SyncBack (Freeware), but would like to try others.
