Crashplans system load is quite hectic - hovers around in the background using 200mb of RAM, a little bit excessive?

This appears to backup to a proprietary image file not explorer browsable normal file structure?

You can browse from the app.

On the plus the differential backups work really well.

I find freefilesync works perfectly, The fact it only re-syncs files that have changed is a lifesaver on drive wear.
I've tried a lot of other programs, but freefilesync (and livefilesync) work perfectly.

Why exactly do you want to try something else? :D

I actually just wanted something to check how well freefilesync was working, I tested a few others and freefilesync does work perfectly so it's back in as my defacto sync program.

I get a size mis-match with Syncback and Freefilsync, 2GB difference syncing between two 2TB harddives, the source drive has 2gb more data than the backup.

What could it be, some kind of system files?
