The Advantages of SyncBackPro over SyncBackSE
SyncBackPro V5 delivers all the reliability and customization
of SyncBackSE, but also provides the following great
features for those who want the ultimate backup and synchronization
solution:
|
 |
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. |
|
|
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. |

S.M.A.R.T.
Warnings
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.
