Synchronize! Pro X for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Qdea:

Synchronize! Pro X is specifically engineered for OS X, taking advantage of the modern properties of the new operating system, such as pre-emptive multitasking, and supporting the full capabilities of the file system, including 255-character Unicode file names and OS X file permissions. Files are copied at the maximum speed possible, using pre-emptive multitasking to full advantage. It makes bootable backups of OS X system disks, without logging in as 'root'. Old files can be archived rather than deleted.

What's new in this version:

  • Added support for the mouse wheel, page up and page down keys in the Log window.
  • Changed "beep on error" (in the Preferences) so that it doesn't beep more often than once every 5 seconds.
  • Fixed a hang which could occur when installing AutoSync.
  • Fixed a problem which occurred when very large numbers of files were synced. When the resource fork can't contain the sync database, a separate file in the same folder as the sync document is used to contain the informat... See all new features

    "Very strong features, versatile and highly reliable"

    August 30, 2011  |   By johnnydeluxe123

    Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.2

    Pros

    Has more features than I have ever seen in one product. Transparent process, especially useful for synchronizing, where one wants to see and manage what happens - in real time. Has 3 main functions: Backup, synch and make bootable start-up disk.

    Cons

    Might seem a little expensive and one needs to renew the license every two years, but I have not found a single other product that can do what this product does.I have tested more than 10+ other apps - and allways went back to use Synchronize! Pro.

    Summary

    Great product, that might deserve an updated user-interface, but don't underestimate the product. It's highly reliable, makes the processes transparent and deserves to be listed among the very best of its' kind. And I'm not on the payroll of that company. Over the years I have contacted the company a couple of times and has received useful assistance or answers. The many settings might look confusing to newcomers, but the standard-settings will work in most instances. Try it out against other products and you will see what I mean.

    "Does the job but shows its age"

    September 29, 2010  |   By Eerk

    Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.3

    Pros

    Does what it says: synchronize files. Can create bootable backups (great). Has enough pro options and settings to create very complex backup schedules, including hands-off scheduled ones.

    Cons

    The interface is not changed in all the years that I've been using it and especially the settings are very tough to go through.

    "Still the best Mac OS X backup application"

    September 26, 2010  |   By JuanDaRiguera

    Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.3

    Pros

    Fully automatable and customizable; constantly under development; Sync Pro X is the top of the line in backup software.

    Cons

    There are no "cons".

    Summary

    If you need a backup application with the kind of flexibility and features Sync Pro X provides, there's nothing else that comes close. This is NOT an application for the casual user who just wants to back up a bunch of data. There are all kinds of apps that can do that. But if you need serious backup capability (for example, the ability to copy "No access" folders and files with root privileges), you need Sync Pro X. Sure, you can do all that stuff in Terminal.app...IF you know what you're doing, and IF you don't mind screwing around with command line input. But if you want to automate your backups, including opening various files, running scripts, mounting or unmounting connected volumes, invoking other applications, or even shutting down your computer as part of the backup sequence, Sync Pro X is the app to get.

    "The best and most fully-featured backup app for OS X"

    September 12, 2010  |   By JuanDaRiguera

    Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.2

    Pros

    It's well-supported and has all the advanced backup and sync features I need

    Cons

    There isn't anything I don't like about it.

    Summary

    If you just want to back up folders or other data, you don't need Synchronize! Pro X. But if you need powerful folder synchronization features, no-fault bootable backups of entire system volumes or disks, incremental backups (backup only the files that have changed), and fully automated backups with the ability to mount remote volumes, execute scripts, call other applications, open and close specific files, or even shutdown or reboot a computer as part of a backup sequence, Sync Pro X is the backup application you're looking for.

    I've been a user since v1.2.2, and I've tried many other backup apps (including CCC). Some of them do some things well, but none of them do all the things Sync Pro X does. If you need serious, professional, fully-featured backup capability, Sync Pro X isn't just the best, it's the ONLY backup app that provides it all.

    "Registration Kills it"

    August 26, 2010  |   By MEADIAsolutions

    Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I only need to use this software a couple times a year. The software is very powerful but unfortunately, their registration process is painful, slow and there is no way to move it easily to another computer. It also does NOT work with mobile accounts if you are using OS X server. I am frustrated this time enough that I logged into VT only to give a negative review. ie. If you sell your computer, or wipe the drive, or trade-up, it will take you a day or two before you can use the software again. FOr this reason I do NOT recommend the software and do not sell it to customers.

    - Frustrated.

    "Good Software BAD LICENSING MODEL"

    December 26, 2009  |   By Fabsoft6

    Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.1.1

    Pros

    Works fine for Synchronizing folders and files

    Cons

    YOU GET A 2yrs license for 100$ It is a rip off. BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM.. If you don't update your SW regularly you get stuck with a really old version and you CANNOT find online the latest version that you can upgrade to with your license

    Summary

    YOU GET A 2yrs license for 100$ It is a rip off. BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM.. If you don't update your SW regularly you get stuck with a really old version and you CANNOT find online the latest version that you can upgrade to with your license ---- IT IS DEFINITELY A RIP - OFF
    The licensing model is absolutely unfair and if you are not careful you will waste 100$.

    "Fast Scan is FAST!"

    May 1, 2008  |   By edac2

    Version: Synchronize! Pro X 6.0

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    After the first backup routine, subsequent scans are almost instantaneous. You have to try Fast Scan to believe it. Next up (I hope): improving the UI.
