Do you regularly back up, for example to an external drive or another computer in the home network? With SyncBackFree you automate these tasks.
SyncBackFree works on the basis of profiles. Each profile not only contains the source and destination location, but also specifies the type of synchronization involved. For example, you can copy a backup, but you can also choose a mirror action where the contents of both folders are synchronized in both directions.
The creators have built intelligence into the software with the aim of further protecting the data. For example, there is ransomware detection, where the software notices as soon as the machine is infected and ransomware has encrypted the data. At that time, the scheduled backup jobs will not run. This reduces the chance that healthy data will be overwritten by the backup with infected data. In addition, you can run other programs automatically before or after a backup. You can compare the differences of a file through two adjacent windows before executing the task. If you are looking for more advanced synchronization functions, for example only synchronizing the files that are different from the previous version (the delta), then you have come to the wrong place with SyncBackFree. For things like copying the file delta and version management you have to rely on the paid version. Moreover, with that version you are not limited to local synchronization actions, but you can also transfer files to cloud services (such as OneDrive).
