I've been using Sync Pro for several months now. Prior to v6.2, it was pretty buggy. It didn't crash much, but had lots of problems with deciding whether a file needed backing up. (Have a look at the Synk forums at the developers site for an accurate snapshot of the problems people are having with the software.) v6.2 however is a very solid product. No crashes and handles my backup needs without errors. The best feature of Synk is that it has a daemon that can do all the backup chores without the main app running. Very convenient. The only issues I have now is that the new GUI in v6.2 was initially a bit confusing, and Synk doesn't gracefully deal with scheduled backup operations to network drives when I disconnect my computer (laptop) from the network for travel. It doesn't crash, but scheduled operations don't automatically resume when reconnecting to the network. I've been told that the authors are working on this though.

I've been evaluating he Pro and Standard versions with a view to purchasing one of them...
The Pro version crashes *every* time I use it. And although it is not unuseable, it is really unstable.
On numerous occaisions I've had to kill the process to close it down, as it just locks up.
I can't see a huge difference between the Pro and Standard versions, although the Standard version is a lot more stable... and appears to have all the functionality that I need. The standard version has only crashed a few times. And does appear to be be a better option.
The functionality and options provided in the app are excellent, and do appear to work well... although the option to 'remove files from target that are not in the source' does not appear to work all the time.
The Pro version... thumbs down (big time) unless they can work out the instabilities.
The Standard version... thumbs up!!

Very promising product so far, BUT:
- Appl silently crashes. IF still availaible, but no mouse , no keyboard hardly recognized. Think this should be fixed. Sooner or later.
-Buttons unrepsonsive: In various cases the appl didn’t respond at all. This was positively the case when finder copies took place (Firewire)
-Finally the appl refused to start at all. Never retried. Trashed.
-Cancel button doesn’t work: Example: Trying to do do a backup. Starting. Looking at the BA process I see a huge file that is esentially obsolete. I hit "cancel". What happens? Nothing. The appl tells me that it will stop when the current task may be accomplished. Or something like that.
But, the task I wished to stop was exactly the current task. Did anybody get it? "Cancel" means cancel. Point.
OK. This is a very nice atempt. But full of bugs. Apperently plenty. This thing should be priced at max.10$ or donation ware.
@the devellopper: don’t get me wrong. I tested your sw with various ba solutions. I’m in the process of changing completely ma ba strategy/HW (only 2 cpu’s and 4 external disks, 1 shared). Your SW failed.
Neverteheless I will encourage you to kepp up the good work. As said before, it’s more than promising.
