Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This straightforward backup utility makes it a snap to safeguard and synchronize your files, and its freeware price just sweetens the deal. Surprisingly flexible for a free program, SyncBack can save your files anywhere: on external hard drives, in ZIP archives, on network drives, on CDs (using UDF), or transfer them via FTP. Recovering from a drive loss is also cinch, with a convenient restore tool that replicates folder trees along with the files in them.
It lets you define multiple scheduled backup jobs so you can just set 'em and forget 'em, allowing users to create specific backup jobs for certain folders or file types. You can control the way files are compared and selected for backup: the program comes with ready-made profiles to make the process as easy as possible. It's hard not to like that SyncBack doesn't use many system resources when working in the background, and backups can be set to export their logs to an HTML file for easy viewing. All in all, it's an excellent choice for home users and small businesses.

Version: SyncBack 3.2.8
"Offers fine control and some nice features"
Pros: This does everything it says it's meant to do. Nice features such as an email alert on completion of backup run, backup via FTP, fine-tuning of file attributes, auto-close of running programs (e.g. Outlook), auto-start of programs (Outlook again in my case), scheduled task feature, etc., etc. For freeware, this is excellent.
Cons: There seems an overlong delay in the profile starting and saying it's complete. This is a little worrying at first. It would be good if the backups also ran on shutdown.
