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 3.2.1
"Great product - does what it says on the tin!"
Pros: I like programs like this. They do one thing and do it well without too many bells and whistles if you dont want them, but there if you do.
It's easy to set up and use and er... backs up!. I have 2 HDD's and back up all my important data from one to the other every now and again, and this is perfect for me. Good EXPERT level if you want it and a solid program. I also sync my USB drive to a folder on my PC - again it does it. What more can I say.
Cons: ...erm - nothing!

Version: SyncBack 3.2.1
"Clean Interface, Plenty of options"
Pros: This is a great alternative to MS backup. I wanted a program that could backup HR files with password encryption as they are sensitive documents. This program handles all kinds of scenarios, from syncronizing to backup, ftp, network, password protection. The interface has loads of options, menus are fairly easy to navigate, and the backup procedure is fast! Best of all, once scheduled, it is non-intrusive. Set it, and forget it.
Cons: The menu options can be overwhelming at first. I'm not sure if there is a better way to organize it. Complaints are VERY minimal.
