What SyncBackSE Does
SyncBackSE is designed to help you prevent data loss. This section of the help file aims to provide you with essential knowledge about what the program does to achieve this. There are three core tasks SyncBackSE does:
| · | Backup |
| · | Synchronize |
| · | Restore |
SyncBackSE allows the user to make many, many decisions about how these core tasks are achieved.

Important: SyncBackSE copies, moves, and deletes data. Always ensure you test your settings before running them. We try to make it very clear during the installation process that SyncBackSE is designed to delete and replace files, so it must be used with caution. We also ensure the default options are set to safe.
Good data processing procedure dictates that any program be thoroughly tested with non-critical data before relying on it. SyncBackSE also features a 'Simulated Run' feature so that users can check to ensure the program is processing data in the way they expect, before making an actual run.
The Simulated Run or Simulated Restore commands available from the 'Task' menu or by right clicking a profile: |

Task Menu: Simulated Run

What SyncBackSE can, and cannot do
SyncBackSE can copy all of your files, but cannot make an exact copy of your drive. SyncBackSE is designed to copy your important files, e. g. your pictures, documents, music, database, etc. You can always reinstall the operating system and any programs, but you cannot recover your files unless you've made a backup. With SyncBackSE making a backup of those files is very quick and easy.
To make an exact copy of your drive you must use "disk imaging" software. With disk imaging, the entire disk (the parts that are used) is copied bit-by-bit. This means the copy will take up a lot of disk space, and take much longer to copy.
Your Windows operating environment is constantly changing. Programs are installed, updated, uninstalled, and settings are changed. Many important security specific applications are also regularly and automatically updated. Anyone who users their computer to connect to the Internet should have in place Anti-Virus, Firewall, and Anti-Spyware programs, all now available from within the Windows XP operating system. These issues, combined with the much longer, costlier (more disks), and less convenient (more time consuming) disk imaging process inevitably means that for the average user, disk imaging is carried out far less frequently than the kind of backup SyncBackSE delivers.
SyncBackSE copies all your important files in a fast, up to date, and reliable manner.
