Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This utility offers plenty of ways to back up and synchronize your data, but it isn't very easy to use. Version 2.0 doesn't much improve the complicated interface, which is burdened by weakly integrated tools. Worse still, you won't find wizards or dialog boxes to guide you, so you may find selecting files and folders both frustrating and annoying. In terms of backup capabilities, you have a number of options. For example, you may store compressed archives and lock them with a password or compare files in multiple locations and replace older copies. ViceVersa Pro also enables you to save several previous versions of documents and includes a pack of useful features and tools such as time synchronization and a scheduler, though it lacks FTP support. ViceVersa can run as a Windows service, without users logged in. Because of its smorgasbord of features and options, ViceVersa Pro could be a fit for advanced users willing to slog their way through its ill-conceived interface.Publisher's description

Version: ViceVersa Pro 2 build 2015
"This product is a must-have for SOHO users"
Pros: Archiving, Change/Conflict management - changes in source and target lead to archival of every version to prevent data-loss. Scheduling, logging view, many many more options. Two-way synchronization or echo supported.
Cons: Would have been great if they had included the realtime-service along with the product but they decided to package that separately. The scheduling option works great for me though.
Summary: I've used the Windows XP PowerToy Synctoy to synchronize data on a shared network drive to a duplicate redundant copy of the same data on a nightly basis for several years. This data backup strategy worked for years until I found that with increasin... read more >>

"This is a very good synchronization program"
Pros: It is very stable and once got to underatand how to set it up it is install and forget.
I use it to synchronize my laptop/desktop and external drive and does it automatically as soon as connected or any changes made to synced files.Cons: It is a little hard to work out how to set it up.
Summary: One of the best backup/ synchronization tools around.

Version: ViceVersa Pro 2 build 2015
Pros: None! Doesn't work!
Cons: Hard to add to the list of folders to be copied. Hard to put in the destination drives (unless you type it in). Then it doesn't work
Summary: When I saw it had a 4 star rating I was flabegasted. Then I saw it was a single user. I'm suspicious that anyone could have had a good experience with this junk.
When you click on "ADD" it brings up a dialog box with an entry for source... read more >> -

Version: ViceVersa Pro 2 build 2015
"Works very well and saves a ton of time."
Pros: Quickly and easily determines the differences between 2 drives / folders etc. Identified descrepancies not available through SyncToy.
Cons: I wish it were free or cheaper. I wouldn't spend that much on a utility I will only use a few times a year.
Summary: I would have given it 5 stars if it cost less than $20
