Hi,
I have a pretty basic need. I need to keep my G:\ ( backup ) drive in synch with my F:\ ( primary ) drive. These are both external drives that I use to hold data, pictures etc. How do I setup a profile to see when a picture\file\folder gets added, changed or deleted on my F:\ drave and automatically add\changed\deleted on the G:\ drive?
Thanks!
Kelly

Re: How do I setup a realtime synch
Hi,
Realtime synchronization is only supported in SyncBackPro/SE versions, but not in SyncBackFree. Please read ‘Automatic backup and sync when files change’ article for details on how to enable real-time sync in Pro/SE and the important points to consider when using that option:
http://support.2brightsparks.com/knowle ... les-change
If you do not own a copy of SyncBackPro/SE and wish to test its functions, you are welcome to try our fully functional SyncBack, which we offer a free 30-day evaluation.
http://www.2brightsparks.com/assets/sof ... _Setup.exe

If you do decide to purchase, the serial number will convert the 'trial' to the 'registered' version.
Thank you.

Re: How do I setup a realtime synch
is there a way to use a similar function but not in real time in free version?
in other words when I delete a file from one side and then run the sync it should be deleted from the other side, is that possible?

Re: How do I setup a realtime synch
There are limitations to the sync capability in the Free version - more details above & here. Basically, it can do what you asked about (propagate a deletion from one side to the other) but what if you created a new file on the 'one side'? You can configure a basic sync to copy such a file to the other side instead, but you cannot do both (propagate both creations and deletions) on the same run using the same configuration - you have to choose one decision/action or the other / configure the profile accordingly. Whereas an Intelligent Sync in the commercial versions (Pro, SE, Lite) can decide for itself what to do as per your configuration choices (provided you have run that profile once already, so it has built a record of 'what was where' previously; you may need to monitor run-1 (only) to intervene in any 'one side only' file decisions that arise on run-1).
Note: some posts on the forum (including one in this thread) suggest 'only the Pro & SE' versions support Intelligent Sync - because they were written before the Lite version was released. The Lite version also supports this now. You can try the Lite version (also, SE & Pro) free for 30 days if you wish, provided you install the different version/s to different program folders (accepting the location/s proposed by the installer/s is the easy way)
