SyncBack
A very solid and flexible software.
Pros: Small footprint, quick setup, a wealth of options for source and destination of backups, runs faithfully in the background, performs 'previews' of backups so that you can see if it's working as expected.
Cons: User interface could be daunting for new users - it's great for me but a new user might need some extra assistance to get started.
SyncBack
Does what it says it does.
Pros: Makes it easy to synchronize or backup specific folders or groups of folders. Allows the user to specify whether to overwrite based on size, date, etc., or whether to delete files that no longer exist on the source or vice-versa... basically tailor it exactly to your needs.
Cons: Not exactly a con, but some of the options provided, though useful, can be very dangerous if not used carefully. For example, the option to delete files that are no longer in the source/destination: renaming a directory could result in it being deleted, that sort of thing.
SyncBack
nice backup software with quite good options...
SyncBack
Free version does not backup selected sub-directories
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: The free version doesn't allow backup of selected sub-directories in a folder. It will backup all sub-directories or none. This makes the program far too limited for my needs. Also, the help file recommends checking for the latest version of the software by selecting the Help | About menu option. However, the Help menu does not include an About option. Instead, Help opens the help file immediately and no popup having an "About" option appears. Too limited, poor documentation.
SyncBack
Excellent
Pros: Wakes up, does the job, goes away, AND tells you if somethings wrong. None of these hang-around processes using up memory. Free and reliable. Dumped mozy home(because of the process usage), and I'm glad I did.
Cons: It's free and works. Nothing to complain about at all.
