• Easy tool for backup to local or network storage

  TechKarmaOctober 1, 2013

  Pros

  - Easy to use interface for configuring backups - Flexible options for unidirectional or bidirectional file sync - Ability to back up to network storage - Ability to set multiple backup profiles - Small lightweight app - Free

  Cons

  None encountered

  Summary

  This is a great lightweight tool for individuals to backup their PC's. From my experience, you should know the folder structures you want to back up (ie. does not automatically backup your "profile"). You are given a folder/file structure view and can select individual folders or files to backup. The tool allows you to Sync multiple ways: - unidirectionally (PC -> storage, mirrored) - unidirectionally without deleting files (PC -> storage, new and modified files will update, deleted files on the PC will NOT be deleted from backup) - bidirectionally (PC <-> storage, full mirror. If you mod/add/delete a file on the backup, it will be modded on the PC on next sync.) Contrary to another review in this thread, you can back up to a network drive. I have a NAS device which I have been routinely backing up to for about 2 years.

• Can't backup to network drive

  HolyJoe722October 3, 2012

  Pros

  Interface is easy to use. Scheduling is a breeze.

  Cons

  Even though it is supposed to back up to network drives, it will not back up to my mapped network drive. I've tried it for over 2 weeks but it cannot access it.

  Summary

  If it was possible to save the backup to my network drive, I'd probably continue using it. Since it won't, it does me no good.
