Latest Articles

Scheduler Monitor

The Scheduler Monitor Service comes as a part of the SyncBack installation and was first introduced in SyncBack V11. Operating silently in the background, this Windows service collaborates with SyncBack to identify profiles that the Windows Task Scheduler fails to execute.

SyncBack Installers

There are a number of ways to install SyncBack onto a Windows computer. Why? Because users have different requirements, restrictions and versions of Windows. For example, prior to Windows 11 there are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. Windows 11, and Windows Server, are 64-bit only. A user may also not be a Windows Administrator, e.g. you are using a corporate or educational computer, or want to run SyncBack from external storage (e.g. a USB key). This article discusses which installers are available and which you should use.

Secrets Managers

A secrets manager is like a super-safe vault for digital keys and passwords that sensitive computer programs and apps use to unlock important information. It keeps these secrets protected from hackers, making sure that only the right programs and people can access them. This helps keep our digital world secure by making sure that only trusted sources can use these secret codes, while also making it easier to change these codes regularly to stay one step ahead of any potential threats. This article explains exactly what they are, their advantages and also their disadvantages.

New V11 Features

Over the last 20 years we've received hundreds, if not thousands, of new feature suggestions and change requests. One request was to allow a SyncBack profile to perform an action when two files are considered to be identical. Prior to V11, identical files were always ignored. With V11 you can now choose to delete the source/left file, delete the destination/right file, delete both files, be prompted or to do nothing (the default).

This is an example of just one small change introduced in V11. Visit our V11 page to see the many other improvements made in V11.
