"SyncBackFree is a KEEPER!"
March 25, 2015
|
By Dr. Berts
|
Version: SyncBackFree 7.0.14
ProsSyncBackFree is incredibly powerful, flexible, reliable, and easy to use. I've used it for years without a single problem. An early version had problems with daylight savings time but that was fixed many years ago, and even then the program had the flexibility to work around the problem. There are so many bad programs (especially the free ones) that one can easily get 'search weary'. End your search now. Use SyncBackFree!
ConsNone than I have experienced.
SummaryA Great Program at a Great Price that has withstood the test of time.

"Works most of the time. V6.5.30 is a bit buggy"
May 09, 2014

Version: SyncBackFree 6.3.13.0
ProsPriceFeatures
Conssee summary
Summary- V6.5.30 is a bit buggy Several checkbox options are not saved correctly.When copying a profile, the file selections of the 'copy from' profile are retained even though the folder path is changed and completely different.Sometimes erroneous error are displayed after a profile has run indication that it could not copy a file. However, the file it reports the error on is in a completely different folder! - Bizzar user interface decisionsThe developers have made some very strange user interface decisions.Examples below.There is no way to clear the status of a profile once if has been run. However, if the profile is part of a group, the status of ONLY the group can be cleared. When copying a profile, the file selections of the 'copy from' profile are retained even though the folder path is changed and completely different. There is a cleanup button to remove the erroneous files / folders from the list. But why include them in the first place? They don't belong! There is a checkbox to automatically clear these erroneous files / folders from the list. However, the placement of this checkbox forces you to see the erroneous data before you are able to clear it. In addition, the cleanup automatically checkbox is only saved sometimes.There is a button panel toolbar that allow quick access to popular items. Unfortunately, the developers have decided the buttons that are displayed and have provided no way for the user to change them.Hope you like 8pt font size. ALL data and labels through the entire application is fixed at 8pt. There is an option to change the font face but NOT size! This is just unacceptable!There are nagging prompts for everything. The good news is that there are checkbox options to silence them. Unfortunately, these checkbox settings are on a per profile basis and NOT global. So you get to set them for every profile!Each profile has an encryption option. Oddly, when you select this option in the left pane, a blank right pane is displayed with the message "Click here for encryption information". Why not just show the encryption information when the encryption tab is selected???Very strange user interface in spots!

"OK, but deeds 2x free disk space"
January 06, 2014

By csomervi
|
Version: SyncBackFree 6.3.13.0
ProsBacks up a drive without stopping for each file a regular copy might ask you some question for, or stop altogether.Result is ZIP file - save some space.
ConsRequires space on some disk partition for a work file as large as the eventual ZIP file, and then it copies the completed work file to the completed ZIP file.I ended up using 7Zip for backing up my largest partitions.
Summary Updated on Jan 6, 2014Sorry: s/deeds/needs/ :-)

Version: SyncBackFree 6.3.13.0
ProsThere are no pros. Kept freezing when attempting to run.
ConsTried it twice and both times froze my laptop. Took up many system resources. Very slow and unreliable program.
SummaryI would not recommend this backup software to anyone. It's better to just copy your files manually.

"SyncBack + Cripple Ware"

By ranger207

Version: SyncBackFree 6.2.30.0
ProsGood reviews, but in using, I don't see the attraction.
ConsCan't even do a simple folder transfer / backup from one internal HDD to a second internal HDD, without upgrading to the SE or Pro ($35. $55.) version.
SummaryPlenty of good free backup programs without wasting time, only to find out it's cripple-ware.
