New V10 Features
SyncBack V10 included many performance improvements, two of which were the introduction of Rapid Transfer in SyncBack Touch and balancing the amount of memory that SyncBackPro should use when running profiles.
Rapid Transfer uses a dedicated data-only connection to a SyncBack Touch service to transfer data as quickly as possible. In most situations it is much quicker than when it is not used. However, care must be taken as it can easily use all available bandwidth. To use Rapid Transfer you must be using SyncBack Touch V1.5.0 or newer along with SyncBackPro/SE V10 or newer. When creating your profile in SyncBack, you must enable the option "Enable Rapid Transfer" in your SyncBack profile. You should check your firewall ports are open (by default port 8080 and 8081). Refer to the SyncBack help file for more details about Rapid Transfer.
SyncBackPro can reduce memory usage by using storage space, instead of memory, while a profile is running. It does this automatically without any user intervention or configuration. However, you may want it to use more memory or less memory, depending on your situation. For example, you may have little memory but lots of quick storage. In that case you may want SyncBackPro to use as little memory as possible. To do this: go to Global Settings -> Expert and change the Memory Usage setting as appropriate. Changing this setting will affect performance for profiles that have tens of thousands of files (or more). Increasing memory usage may actually slow down profiles with hundreds or thousands of files (or more).
