You can set the program to work in simple or expert mode depending on whether you want an easily configured backup or if you need to use more sophisticated settings. A synchronize profile changes data in both directions to ensure that source and destination locations are the same. A backup profile essentially copies the source folders and their contents to the backup location. The program enables you to set up backup or synchronization profiles. It looks like there is a problem with a small set of files that where copies using syncback end up with mod timestamps 1 hour out but with windows explorer the timestamps copy correctly.SyncBackFree is the free and more limited version of the powerful file backup and synchronisation tool which can be used with hard drives, removable media, network shares, FTP servers and more.

There was no NAS involvedĪ) windows explorer, copy from context menu on drive c and paste to drive d.ī) syncback pro mirror using standard windows file copy methodĬ) syncback pro mirror using windows explorer methodįor most files with method a) b) and c) files copied with correct timestampsįor a) all files copied with correct timestampsįor b) and c) some files copied with the modification timestamp being one hour different from the source drive to the destination drive!īoth methods used by syncback do not replicate the method used by windows explorer! (What is interesting is when syncback does a comparison even though the timestamps are different on the two local drives it sees them as the same). I performed a simple test where various methods were used to copy files and directories from local drive c to local drive d.

Support ticket details have been updated with the details below :. I originally thought this only occurred when copying to a NAS but also occurs when copying between two local drives. With respect to problem 1 where the modification timestamps are one hour different, I am encountering the same problem with a subset of files.
