SyncBreeze Ultimate 15.7.18

Overview

SyncBreeze Ultimate is one of the best versions of this file synchronization backup software available. It goes beyond the free and Pro versions by includes 50 terabytes of storage for 50 million files, with 50 sync commands that can be setup for custom file syncing jobs and 50 network shares to access any areas of the file network that the software requires to complete the backup.

Compression file synchronization is also supported in the Pro version to save space with backup storage. Real-time file synchronization is possible as well to always stay current in both file locations. Bit-level synchronization ensures that every byte is captured and synced correctly with this more exactly process. Multi-way file synchronization is also available which ensures that files changes in the destination location will also immediately be updated in the source location.

Along with features like multi-stream file syncing for improved processing times and a command line utility, the Ultimate version has some interesting new features.

Interface

The interface for the SyncBreeze Ultimate version of the syncing application isn't really any different to the other SyncBreeze versions other than the menus at the top have more options to reflect the increased feature set. New features like real-time syncing, multi-way syncing and command line access are added so the user can control these features.

There are the usual toolbar buttons to options like Sync, Add, Delete, Layouts, Options, and Help.

Below the toolbar is the area to show all the sync jobs that have been setup (which is up to a maximum of 50 in the Ultimate version). Each command job is setup showing the details about the command, when it was last synced, the number of files and total storage required, plus the current status in the backup process.

The interface is designed to be simple to use and easy to get updated on backup progress at a glance without it taking up too much of your time.
