Re: [Dx4win] Beyond Sync - has anyone tried it?
I sees Syncback as well as using Backblaze for offsite backup. What I do is to have a syncback job that runs hourly that copies any changed files from underneath my ham radio directories to another directory on my computer. In addition, I use Backblaze (a commercial service, I think it's $50/yr, see backblaze.com for details) which runs essentially in real-time to back up my whole computer to their servers. With Backblaze, I've got archival storage so I can pull back an older version of a file if needed. I've found that between these two I'm reasonably well covered. Both syncback and Backblaze are smart enough to only back up when files have changed. If you really want belt and suspenders, you could add on one of the other services like Mozy which will let you back up (I think) 2Gb for free to their site, so you've got an extra version, or you could use something like Dropbox too.

[Dx4win] Beyond Sync - has anyone tried it?
Hi Folks, Has anyone used Beyond Sync to synchronize/backup their DX4WIN data in real-time? http://www.beyondsync.com/ I just installed it an it seems to be a promising replacement for Iomega Automatic Backup (I'm still using 1.0.2 on my WinXP ham computer). Note that this is NOT a replacement for a daily full/incremental local or off-line backup. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

I use another freeware backup program, Syncback by One Bight Spark Software - it very nicely backs up selected directories and files from my computer and my wife's, over our network to my USB drive, on a nightly schedule. Takes about 5 seconds a night unless we have change a *lot* of files. 73, Pete N4ZR The World Contest Station Database, updated daily at www.conteststations.com The Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com, spots at telnet.reversebeacon.net, port 7000 On 8/22/2010 1:33 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: Hi Folks, Has anyone used Beyond Sync to synchronize/backup their DX4WIN data in real-time? http://www.beyondsync.com/ I just installed it an it seems to be a promising replacement for Iomega Automatic Backup (I'm still using 1.0.2 on my WinXP ham computer).

I use Cobian Backup. Used it for a few years now. No problems and it's free.

Re: [Dx4win] Beyond Sync - has anyone tried it?
Syncback does both. You can select the source, destination and whether timed or in real-time. I have Syncback keeping an eye on my D4W/save directory. It backs up any file in that directory as soon as it changes (in real-time), it backs up the entire /save directory daily (timed) and my entire D4W directory weekly (timed). You tell it what you want backed up, where it is to go and the conditions under which it should be done. I have all my backups written to a networked RAID-1 drive in another part of the house.
