SyncBackPro is a backup and synchronization tool that runs scheduled profiles to copy, mirror, or restore files between local drives, network shares, and cloud storage. It suits anyone who needs verified, versioned backups with automation rather than manual copying.
SyncBackPro creates backup, mirror, and synchronization jobs called profiles, then runs them on a schedule or on demand. Each profile pairs a source with a destination — a folder, a network share, an FTP or SFTP server, or a cloud account — and applies rules that decide which files are copied, updated, or removed. Before anything is written you can simulate the run and read a list of planned actions, then check the log afterwards to confirm what happened. Advanced options cover versioned backups that keep earlier copies of changed files, compression and encryption for the destination, and delta copying that transfers only the changed parts of large files. Profiles can run unattended so routine protection happens without anyone remembering to click anything.
The difference between a sync tool and a copy command is what happens when files conflict. SyncBackPro can choose the newest file or the one on a specific side, and it detects moved or renamed files so a reorganization does not trigger a full re-upload. Backups can be versioned, so an overwritten or deleted file is still recoverable from an earlier date, and the destination can be encrypted and compressed. Open files held by running applications are handled with a snapshot mechanism, which matters for mail stores and databases. Notifications report success or failure by email, and profiles can run as a service unattended. When differences need checking by hand, Beyond Compare 5 shows the two trees side by side.
What SyncBackPro adds over a simple scheduled copy is judgment about what to do with each file. Versioned backups keep a history, so restoring last week's version of a document takes a few clicks instead of a file recovery tool, and retention rules stop that history from growing without limit. Verification after copying and detailed HTML logs mean a failed transfer is visible the same day, not the morning you need the backup. Delta copying makes large files cheap to protect over slow links, which is the practical difference between a backup that finishes overnight and one that never catches up. Filters keep caches, temporary folders, and system junk out of the destination so the copy stays meaningful and the schedule stays fast. Because profiles can run as a service and be driven from the command line, the same setup works for a single laptop and for a small office with several machines reporting by email. Encryption protects the destination even when it sits somewhere you do not control.
Key capabilities and highlights.
Each profile picks a mode: backup adds and updates files at the destination, mirror makes the destination an exact copy including deletions, and synchronize changes both sides. Choosing the right mode up front prevents the classic mistake of deleting files you intended to keep.
Profiles run on a schedule, at logon, when a drive is connected, or from the command line, and can execute as a background service whether or not anyone is signed in. That turns data protection into something that happens automatically instead of depending on memory.
Instead of overwriting the previous copy, versioning stores earlier revisions of changed or deleted files at the destination and applies retention rules to control how many are kept. Recovering a document from last month becomes a normal restore rather than a forensic exercise.
Destinations and sources can include FTP, SFTP, network shares, and cloud storage accounts, with credentials stored per profile. One interface can therefore cover a local external drive, a colleague's server, and an object storage bucket when a backup strategy spans more than one location.
Backups can be compressed to save space and encrypted with a password so the destination stays unreadable to anyone who obtains the media. For offsite copies on drives or cloud accounts you do not fully control, this is the difference between a leak and a protected archive.
Files can be verified after transfer by comparing the source and the copy, so silent corruption or a truncated upload is caught immediately rather than at restore time. Each run writes a detailed log with per-file results, and email notifications report completed, failed, and skipped profiles.
Fast backup mode transfers only the changed portions of a modified file rather than the whole thing, which makes routine protection of large mail stores, databases, or disk images practical over slow connections. It substantially reduces the time each scheduled run needs to finish.
A simulation shows exactly which files would be copied, updated, or deleted before anything is written, filters exclude caches and temporary files, and conflict rules decide which side wins when both copies changed. Together these controls make automated runs predictable and safe to leave alone.

Common questions about SyncBackPro.
It runs scheduled backup, mirror, and synchronization profiles that copy files between drives, servers, and cloud accounts. Typical uses are protecting a laptop or server folder on a schedule, keeping two locations identical, and restoring an earlier version of a file that was overwritten.
Yes. Profiles can use cloud storage accounts as either the source or the destination, alongside FTP and SFTP servers and ordinary network shares. Credentials are stored with the profile, so the same scheduling, versioning, and logging features apply wherever the data is going.
Yes. Versioning stores earlier revisions of changed or deleted files at the destination instead of overwriting them, and retention settings limit how many versions are kept. That makes it possible to recover a file from an earlier date without a separate recovery tool.
Yes. Profiles can run as a background service so backups continue when the computer is idle or no user is signed in. They can also be triggered on a schedule, at logon, when a drive is connected, or from the command line for scripted use.
It can verify transferred files by comparing the source and the copy, which catches truncated uploads and corruption that would otherwise go unnoticed. Each run also produces a detailed log, and email notifications can report the outcome of a profile.
Yes. A snapshot mechanism allows locked files held by running programs, such as mail stores or databases, to be copied during a backup. Without that handling, those files would typically be skipped or copied in an inconsistent state.
