This ability to synchronize with the online data is critical, as I don’t see a point wasting time and bandwidth uploading files that are already online and unchanged locally. Note that also set the upload parameters to use sFTP In this manner, Syncback was able to achieve the three goals I need it to achieve: synchronization, encryption, and sFTP. First I set synback to run backup with compression and encryption, and then set the program to store the files on the server as individual encrypted. The method to get my server to where I wanted it to be with SyncBack was simple. The most important feature for me of SynBack Pro is the ability to encrypt files and use sFTP to upload the files to the backup server.
There are many difference between the three version of SyncBack: Freeware, SE, and Pro, and these differences are very clearly explained on the 2BrightSparks website. This is where SyncBackPro becomes a necessary tool, as I’m now using my own backup server to its potential. Because even though the initial volume of data I’d upload is large, the actual day-to-day changes are not. The problem I was having in backing up more data to this server is that I needed the ability to sync as well as encrypt files and use sFTP. I’ve had my own backup server in cyberspace for a while now with a reputable company, but I’ve only used it for minor stuff.
Basically when it comes to my data, I only trust me. I don’t like proprietary data formats, and I like to be able to see for myself exactly what my data looks like on the other side. This drive, however, will not help me as much as I would need if I have a data disaster somewhere in that 3 month time frame and the idea of weekly or monthly having to make a trip to my off site backup location isn’t something I really want to do.Īs readers of this blog already know, I’m not a terribly big fan of the major online backup services. Because of the risk of catastrophic data loss, as low as it is, I do keep a rotating 3 month external hard-drive backup at a physical off-site location. As my business has grown (which is a good thing), the amount of data that I need to store has also grown. I’ve been a big fan of SyncBack Freeware for a very long time, and for a very long time it handled everything I needed to do when it came to keeping my laptop in sync with my desktop machine and my external hard drive.
