Let's imagine that you have a lot of important files and folders stored on your computer. This information should be backed up once in a while for keeping it safe. That's because modern viruses and hard disk problems can cause data loss. Using the Windows operating system alone for backing up files and folders is not enough, as this operating system doesn't include a reliable tool for backing up data. That's why it's recommended to turn to 3rd party applications for this. One such program is SyncBack Free.

This simple Windows program allows you to perform various backup operations in a very simple way. The installation wizard of the program can be completed using a couple of clicks, in a very short time. After installing and running the application, the user is asked whether he would like to perform a backup or a synchronization task. After selecting the desired option, one will have a list of presets available, which includes all the necessary settings for a certain type of backup.

By selecting one of these options, the user only needs to select the source and destination folder and that's it. If he doesn't find a suitable preset for his needs, he can make all the necessary adjustments manually. Some inexperienced users may have trouble in this case, when using the program for the first time. SyncBack Free includes two modes of operation, an easy mode and an expert mode. Selecting the expert mode will add many new tabs to the program's interface, which offer many more possibilities for backing up data.

For example, one can back up data to a FTP server or he can send all his personal files through email. The program allows creating several backup tasks and displaying all of them in its interface. Synchronizing files and folders can be done in the same easy manner as backing up data, by using one of the many presets included.

Pros

It allows backing up data with great ease by using a series of different presets. Besides that, advanced users can take advantage of the expert mode, which unlocks new ways of backing up data, for example, saving all the files and folders to a FTP server. Furthermore, an unlimited number of backup tasks can be added to the program's interface.

Cons

The manual settings may need some time to be learnt, as there are many of them. SyncBack Free allows anyone to perform various types of backup tasks in the easiest way possible, using several presets.
