What SyncBack is

SyncBack is a file backup and synchronization product from SyncBack, a maker founded in 2004. Its listed platforms are Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, and its capabilities include computer, mobile, and server backup.

The indefinitely free SyncBackFree plan covers backup, mirroring, basic synchronization, restore, and scheduling on Windows. SyncBackSE adds versioning, delta-copy, incremental and differential backups, compression, encryption, and Windows Server support; it is listed at $44.95 a month. SyncBackPro costs $59.95 a month and adds cloud backup and synchronization, SFTP, FTP, FTPS, email backup, scripting, ransomware detection, and SyncBack Touch support. A 30-day trial is available.

This gives buyers a choice between an indefinitely free Windows plan and paid tiers with additional backup, synchronization, and related capabilities.
