| "Should use serial #, not drive letter" deebee, I think your reasoning is flawed. Drive letters are flawed for backup/restore use. The app should use drive serial #s in combo with volume names if need be, not drive letters.

| "Antonio's review" I have used Syncback for years to backup to external hard drives & seperate partitions & never had any problems. If you set up a profile for your external drive,hdd or any other drive for that matter,then disconnect it & reconnect after you've plugged in a flash drive for example,then most likely the drive letter for the external hdd will have changed the next time you connect it,therefore the profile won't work anymore,it's not "corrupted". By the way,this applies to ANY backup program,not just Syncback. It's up to you Antonio to make sure you allocate the proper drive letter to your devices. You have marked Syncback as only meriting a "1" when it's your own fault that it's not working. Look at the path you set up in the profile,then check what drive letter is being allocated to the external hdd. Try Karens Replicator,also very good & I bet you get the same problem. You MUST allocate drive letters to specific drives & keep them that way,else no backup program can work,can it?

| "Backup Profiles autoCorrupt!" Several Profiles were created, Backing up Files from computer to external HD. Tedious to do properly, to be sure. Well...the Backup WAS done, but...subsequently, after disconnecting the External HD (I think that's what caused the error) none of the Profile's Groups worked!! WTF??
Something about the way Syncback "stores" it's Profile, and the subsequent Folder Paths, that "corrupts" AFTER the initial Backup.
It might look OK, but...try as I, with a separate HD, and see if I'm wrong. Uninstalled :-(

| "The Best" I tried and compared many freeware backup programs. SyncBack is the best I could find. It has many useful options and features. Good for experienced to advanced users.

| "Minor glitch, otherwise... it delivers!" Very nice tool, easy to configure once you get the hang of it. Only issue I found is that it's not properly retrying the operation with locked files - it's not giving me the chance to close the application that is using the file, resulting in an error.

| "problem with non-English filenames" First, I wish viewers to disregard comments that are before 2007 because those are comments about old versions of SyncBack.
Second, I wish to report some bugs in SyncBack 3.2.14:
1. Trouble may occur (but not always) if your folder name or filename is not English. When copied, the destination file could get a mutilated filename.
2. If you choose an FTP server as destination, the problem stated in 1. above occurs more often. It is not safe using FTP as destination. Using drive letters has less trouble.

| "SyncBack Freeware" I've been using the program for a few weeks now without any problems. Use it for a home PC and a external backup HD. Works great so far. Many thanks to the developers for a simple inexpensive way to backup important info.

| "The best backup program" I use SyncBack free version every day,have done for years,it's a great program. Some of the options might be confusing if you don't know what you're doing,but I think it's great.

| "Excellent program" This program has some powerful feature selections... very versatile. I just wish you could select multiple directories at for one job.

| "Powerful" This is an incredibly potent piece of software. If Backup Exec makes your head hurt, this is the cure.

| "Powerful, Fast & Totally Easy" I just installed SyncBack on my main PC and Notebook. I easily syncronized both shared folders over my wireless network and made an additional backup of the Main PC on an external drive. The instructions weren't even used on these initial projects; I was done in 5 minutes with complete success! I use it instead of the backup software that can with my SimpleDrive external 120GB drive; it is better and less confusing in my opinion.
