GoodSync – the easy way to sync and back up files

We all know how important it is to back up your data, and what can happen if you don’t. Twice this year, I’ve had computer failures, first a dead hard drive, and then a fried motherboard. Fortunately, since I back up my data regularly, the damage was minimal. So yes, backing up your data is crucial, but it can also be a hassle.

Microsoft Vista has a built in back up tool, but it doesn’t always do the job well. It doesn’t allow you to really pick and choose what you want to back up, and it backs up a lot of junk you really don’t need, like all the built in software that came with your system, which no one needs a back up of!

Fortunately Siber Systems has come to the rescue with GoodSync. This marvelous program automatically backs up your data and syncs it between laptops, servers, desktops, and portable drives, all with just a few clicks! Continued after the break.

Once you’ve downloaded and installed the program, open it, and choose the drives you want to sync, like your C: drive and a flash drive. Click the Analyze button and Goodsync will show you the directories and files on both drives. Simply choose the files you want to sync, click Sync and GoodSync does the work for you. Your data is now backed up. Goodsync also offers an auto setting that allows you to schedule regular synchronization jobs so that your data back ups are always current. And since GoodSync is bidirectional, it’s easy to restore the data you’ve backed up should you ever need to.

Goodsync is also great for syncing data between your laptop and desktop, so when you travel you’ll always have your data at your fingertips. Goodsync is fast and doesn’t take up much memory. In addition to PCs, servers, and portable drives, it also syncs to Windows Mobile and Pocket PC devices, making it a snap to move files between your cell or PDA and your desktop.
