I've used Synk Standard to simultaneously complete full backups and backups of specific folders, on external hard drives as well as a network server. I've also used it to maintain synchronisation of a working folder on two machines (an iMac and a MacBook Pro) to ensure that my work files are always up-to-date on both computers, but also backed up.

I have had no significant difficulties or problems using the software. It is sufficiently configurable to overcome any initial concerns I had about accidentally overwriting important work, and does its job quietly and efficiently - and, most importantly, automatically - in the background while I get on with the rest of my life.

As mentioned above, I've not had a major issue when using it. Any minor hiccups have been related mainly to my configuration of the software rather than any inherent problem with the package.

I have no hesitation in recommending Synk Standard.

I find this product to be very reliable. I use it to backup/sync my Users folder from laptop to a desktop, and it has been easy to work with. I started by syncing a few smaller folders until I got the hang of the settings, but it backs up over a network just fine, even mounting the disk on the other Mac.

This is the most stragitforward, easy and best backup software I have tried.
It even clones signifigantly faster than both superduper and CCC, and produces error free drives, unlike both SD and CCC which I have to fix with diskwarrior and every run.
The only problem is that it leaves some folders visible on the destination disk which should be invisible.
And it's a little expensive too imo, considering Time Machine is free.
