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 3.2.9
"This is a great basic synchronization and backup tool"
Pros: I have an external drive that I like to backup all my documents to at night .. this is a great tool because it allows me to either synchronize between the two drives or just backup from one drive to the other at certain times. If anything failed or a problem occured it brings up a page with the report that I can view in the morning to see how things went. The options on it give me full control on how duplicate files can be handled and in which direction files should be copied. I definitly recommend this product to anyone needing to back up or synchronize files.

Version: SyncBack 3.2.9
"A basic, but complete tool to sync or backup your files."
Pros: It works with task scheduler to run anytime that you want and quickly generates a report each time. I use it to backup my sensitive files from work onto my flash drive. My computer failed once already and I almost lost everything. I do not worry anymore when using this program.
