File synchronising across drives or directories

P

Phred

G'day mates,

Just stumbled across a program called SyncBack being promoted in the
latest Tudogs newsletter to hit these shores, and that reminded me
that I still haven't managed to find a good, simple, file
synchronisation program like the old Australian Two Disks of a couple
of decades ago. (It was actually meant for working with A: and B:,
but you could fool it into handling directories on C: to some extent
by judicious use of the current directory and the SUBST command -- all
said with that pervasive proviso "IIRC". :cool:

Has anyone tried this SyncBack thing?
http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html

As common these days, it comes in two flavours: free and pro.
(Or at least that appears to be the intention but the pro version is
still in development AFAICS on the site.)

The free version has the decency to provide a "no install" option,
which is encouraging in these times of bloated rude software.

I'd be pleased to hear of any user experience with the product (now at
version 3.2 by the look of it).

Thanks for your time.

Cheers, Phred.

Hey Phred, I haven't used SyncBack but I have been using SmartSync Pro
(http://www.smsync.com) for quite a while and am very happy with it.
Highly recommended.
