Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/Windows 7 (32/64 bit)
SyncBackPro is used to back-up, restore, and synchronize files and directories, whether they are on a local drive, a network drive, a ZIP archive, an FTP server, SFTP server, email server, CD/DVD, user defined location (using scripting), or on removable media.
SyncBackPro is an advanced file backup & synchronization program that can be used with hard drives, CDs & DVDs, removable media (e.g. Compact Flash), FTP, FTPS, and SFTP servers, Zip64 archives (with 256-bit AES encryption), POP3/IMAP4/SMTP email servers, and network shares.
SyncBackPro is a greatly enhanced version of the multi-award winning SyncBackSE software.
SyncBackPro copies locked and/or open files, has a powerful FTP engine, a Fast Backup option, Smart Synchronization, file versioning, fast compression with AES encryption, configuration via scripting, BZip2 compression, backup to CD or DVD with automatic disk spanning, a database engine for the backup/sync of an unlimited number of files.

Backup to CD/DVD
Backup to CD/DVD with disk spanning (compression not required). SyncBackPro can also backup to an ISO image file which can be mounted as a virtual drive (using 3rd party software). SyncBackPro also performs automatic disk spanning, i.e. if your files do not fit onto the CD/DVD then it will split the files and continue onto another CD/DVD.
Backup To or Restore From an Email Server
SyncBackPro allows the user to backup or synchronize their files with an email server whether SMTP, POP3, or IMAP4 (not to be confused with synchronizing emails). This is similar to backing up via FTP, however the backup is made via an email server e.g. Gmail, Yahoo!, etc. SyncBackPro provides advanced customization of the settings that allow the user to define SMTP and POP3/IMAP4 server connection details like “Must use SSL/TLS connection”, “Direct SSL/TLS connection”, and includes the ability to create a custom email body instead of using the default.
Scripting Support
SyncBackPro allows the user to configure the program and profiles using their own scripts. Scripts are distinct from the core code of the application, which is written in a different language. Scripting is a way in which the functionality of SyncBackPro can be changed or extended. A script is a set of instructions and is similar to the macro support in Microsoft Office, and Java Script in web pages. SyncBackPro can use scripts written in any scripting language (supported by the Windows Scripting Host) that is installed on the computer. SyncBackPro Scripts.
SFTP Support
SFTP, or secure FTP, is a program that uses SSH to transfer files. Unlike standard FTP, it encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted transparently over a network. Functionally similar to FTP, SFTP uses a different protocol, it is not possible to use a standard FTP client to talk to an SFTP server, nor is it possible to connect to an FTP server with a client that supports only SFTP.
Processes an Unlimited Number of Files
Instead of storing the information in RAM (memory), SyncBackPro uses a database to store details of the files it is copying. This means an unlimited number of files and folders can be processed. SyncBackPro uses RAM for performance but will automatically and seamlessly switch to a database if memory is running low or the number of files reaches a threshold. Using a database is significantly faster when the number of files is in the hundreds of thousands.
BZip2 Compression
Enjoy a higher compression rate than Zip making FTP and email backups faster, and lessening the load on network backups. BZip2 typically compresses files up to 15% more, is around twice as fast at compression, and six times faster at decompression. Bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors.
Automatic Drive Failure Detection
Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, or “S.M.A.R.T.”, is a monitoring system for computer hard disks to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures. Mechanical failures, which are usually predictable failures, account for 60 percent of drive failure. The purpose of S.M.A.R.T. is to warn a user or system administrator of impending drive failure while time remains to take preventative action – such as copying the data to a replacement device.
Copy Open Files
Backup ‘live’ documents
Now there’s no need to close your programs to backup files. Keep Outlook, Word, Excel etc. running as your files are backed up.
Incremental Backups
Does what is required
Only new and changed files are copied. Incremental backups are supported, and variables can be used, e.g. backup to a folder based on the current date.
FTP and Email
Online access
Backup or sync files with an FTP server. Encryption, compression, & Unicode is supported. Auto email the results.
Performance & Throttling
As fast as can be
Everything is done as fast as it possibly can be. If you need to slow it down, e.g. limit bandwidth usage, then you can.
Synchronize
Work with 2 or more computers
Ensure your workstation, laptop, and networked computers have the same files. Let ‘Smart Sync’ (2-way file sync) do the work.
Secure
Keep confidential data private
Keep your backups completely secure with 256-bit AES encryption. Military level security ensures your peace of mind.
Compression
Keep your files small
Compress your backups using the latest compression technology. You can compress an unlimited size, and an unlimited number of files.
Automation
Set it and forget it
Once you’ve created your backup/sync profile you can have it scheduled to run without any user interaction. You don’t need to remember to backup your files.
