Advice on good Backup file sync software?

[airborne]

I've been using Freefilesync for a while and it works well... and its free:
http://www.freefilesync.org/

But on 2TB sync I get a 2gb total file size difference, not sure if its windows system type files that are excluded, the drive that is being backup is a data only drive separate from the OS drive.

So I thought I'll try something else, what else can I try?
Its for once off backups and only update modified/deleted/new, I do them weekly or thereabouts.

Anyone have experience with Cloudberry? Seems to work with local backup and many cloud providers.

crashplan

CrashPlan seems to work quite well. Just implemented a backup solution with CrashPlan for a client.

Thanks for the replies, I'm only interested in local backups to external USB hdd though, not cloud and preferably free though I would pay for something really good.

 

[SauRoNZA]

CrashPlan for sure.

Didn't Windows get an Rsync clone recently?

If to USB why not use the built-in Windows option?

CrashPlan is free and it allows for backing up to external drives

Download it here: https://www.crashplan.com/en-us/download/

i will have to throw microsoft's sync toy into the mix.. used it, loved it and still do.. i am also playing around with btsync, though not as feature rich as synctoy if you stick with the free version..

Crash plan looks good, didn't realise it had a free local tier.

What sync feature is built in to Windows 10 pro, I would prefer a minimalist solution?

I agree with mh348

SyncBack - works like a charm

Just search for backup. There's a whole built in system for backing up to USB. No third party required.

Win 10 Pro, could only find File version history(which is not what I need) for a native backup solution?

SyncBack also has a "verify" function, to make sure your copies were perfect.

Veeam Endpoint Backup is really great. You can do full image or just certain folders.
