SyncBackPro is a professional backup and synchronization tool from 2BrightSparks that copies, mirrors, and restores data between local drives, network locations, and cloud storage, giving individuals and IT teams automated, verifiable protection for files, folders, and even email.
SyncBackPro is an application for backing up, synchronizing, and restoring files across local drives, network locations, FTP and SFTP servers, and cloud storage. You build a profile that defines a source and a destination, choose a mode such as backup, mirror, or two-way synchronize, then let the built-in scheduler run it unattended. The program tracks changes per file, so repeat runs only move what has actually changed instead of recopying whole folders. Versioning keeps earlier copies of modified files, and shadow copy support captures files that are still open in other programs. The result is a repeatable, auditable routine for protecting documents, media libraries, project archives, and server data without manual copy-and-paste.
The tool is not limited to one destination or one method. A single profile can push data to a removable disk, a network share, an SFTP host, or object storage such as Amazon S3, Google Drive, Backblaze B2, and OneDrive, and it can chain profiles so one finished job triggers the next. Groups, filters, and include and exclude masks keep large jobs manageable, while decision logs, simulated runs, and email reports show exactly what a job would do or did. Users who also compare folders file by file often pair it with Beyond Compare 5 for detailed visual diffs, and the restore and versioning options mean an overwritten document is rarely lost for good.
The main benefit of SyncBackPro is that it turns data protection into a scheduled, repeatable process instead of a manual chore. Once a profile is built, it runs on its own, compares source and destination, and copies only the differences, which keeps routine jobs quick even when directories hold hundreds of thousands of files. Versioning and restore options mean a bad edit, a ransomware event, or an accidental delete can be rolled back rather than accepted. Multiple destinations, local, network, or cloud, give you an off-site copy without adding a second tool, and encryption protects that copy in transit and at rest. Detailed logs, simulated runs, and notification emails make failures visible early, so problems get fixed before a restore is ever needed. For individuals, small businesses, and IT administrators, that combination of granular control, automation, and accountability is what makes SyncBackPro worth using over drag-and-drop folder copying.
Each profile runs in a mode you choose: backup to keep a one-way copy, mirror to make the destination match the source exactly, or synchronize to propagate changes in both directions. Mode selection prevents mistakes such as a source deletion wiping out a good destination copy, and file rules refine behavior further.
SyncBackPro writes to Amazon S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Azure Blob Storage, Backblaze B2, Box, pCloud, WebDAV, and S3-compatible services such as Wasabi and Cloudflare R2, plus Glacier and Azure archive tiers. Off-site copies stay inside one tool, on the same schedule as your local jobs.
Versioning keeps multiple historical copies of changed files so you can roll back to a previous state instead of accepting an overwritten or corrupted document. Delta versioning stores only the changed parts of large files, which cuts storage use dramatically while preserving the ability to restore any earlier revision.
When a big file changes slightly, SyncBackPro compares it block by block and transfers only the differences rather than the whole file. That keeps daily jobs over the internet or a wide area network practical for disk images, databases, and media archives, saving both transfer time and bandwidth.
Built-in ransomware detection watches for the mass-encryption patterns typical of an attack and can stop a job before damaged files overwrite healthy backups. File integrity tracking keeps records of what was copied, so stored archives can later be checked for corruption and confirmed as complete.
Profiles can run on a timetable, in real time when files change, or at system startup and shutdown, and jobs continue without anyone signed in. SyncBackPro also reports detailed logs, email notifications, and SysLog messages so unattended failures are noticed quickly.
Backups can be encrypted with 256-bit AES and compressed using Zip, LZMA, LZMA2, or BZip2 before they are written to disk, network shares, or cloud buckets. Sensitive folders stay unreadable without the password and archives take less space, with settings applied per profile.
Shadow copy support captures files that are open in other programs, while IMAP, POP3, and Exchange connections back up mailbox messages directly from the server. SyncBack Touch extends the same profiles to remote machines, so one interface covers desktops, laptops, and servers.
It automates backup and synchronization of files between local drives, network locations, and cloud storage. Typical uses include nightly document backups, mirroring a working folder to a network drive, copying media libraries to object storage, and keeping two machines in step, all without manual copying.
Yes. SyncBackPro connects to more than twenty services, including Amazon S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Azure Blob Storage, Backblaze B2, Box, pCloud, and WebDAV, as well as S3-compatible providers. Files can be encrypted and compressed before they leave your computer.
Versioning stores earlier copies of modified or deleted files so you can roll back to a previous state. Delta versioning stores only the changed portions of large files, which keeps storage requirements reasonable while preserving the ability to restore older revisions whenever they are needed.
Yes. Profiles can be scheduled hourly, daily, or on a custom timetable, triggered when files change, or linked to system startup and shutdown. SyncBackPro writes detailed logs and can email a report after each run, so problems surface even when jobs run overnight.
It includes ransomware detection that looks for the mass file modification and encryption behavior typical of an attack, and can halt a profile before damaged files overwrite good backups. Versioning and file integrity checks add further ways to recover clean data afterwards.
Yes, it supports shadow copies, so files in use by other applications can still be backed up. That lets scheduled jobs capture live mailboxes, databases, and documents without asking users to close their programs first, which keeps backup windows short and predictable.
