I have been unable to find any words on the period of the license.
Major version only or lifelong?? This is version 5.9.1.11...

[sajman99]

Good question, Curt. The Raymond.cc author indicates in the comments section that he thinks the license includes free lifetime upgrades.

Dunno personally--I haven't yet explored the offer.

[sajman99]

The Raymond.cc blog author has contacted 2BrightSparks regarding the terms of the license. No response so far.

btw some folks have reported the coupon code also works with SyncBackSE (50% of $30 = $15).

I highly recommend syncbackpro. I purchased it a while ago, actually purchased SyncBackSE and upgraded to Pro, but either way this software is fantastic.

There has been a response from 2BrightSparks regarding the license. In the Raymond.cc comments Richard Gascoigne has commented...

...We have not previously charged for upgrades, but there will probably be a small fee for the next SyncBackPro major version (v6), for those who want to take it up.

Hmm..apparently a change of policy. Still seems fair for quality software...depending on what a "small fee" actually means.

Quick question: does anyone know if it's possible to set up a backup profile in SyncBack Pro that uses both compression and versioning? I know I can create individual zip files with files marked with date/time using "variables", but this means that every backup is going to be a full backup, and I can't find an option to remove old backup files according to user-defined rules.

It doesn't seem possible, since enabling compression turns off versioning in profile settings, but maybe there's something I've missed. Backup4All can do that and I seems strange that it wouldn't be possible in such an advanced application.



Thanks!

Hi tranglos. I was hoping some experienced SyncBack user could answer your question because I unfortunately do not know the answer.

I would be interested to know if 2BrightSparks would respond to such an email and/or community forum inquiry. As a prospective customer, I am curious about the quality of 2BrightSparks' customer support. Anyone know?

It's been a long time since I've visited the 2BrightSparks forum, but back when I did the support there was fantastic and responsive.  I'd suggest a visit to make sure it's still at the same level (I have no reason to believe it's not)

Thanks, I've only heard good things about SyncBack, but I figured someone might take the opportunity to mention any negatives. Evidently both the software and customer support are well above par.
