Synchronize! Pro X 6.0.1 (Mac OS X)

Excellent Product  

I have used synchronize pro for over 3 years now, mainly to do bootable nightly backups of Tiger & Leopard servers that would need to be back online immediately following a boot drive failure. With this new update, I get notified whenever a backup time is missed, completes, or has errors. The emails include the log file explaining exactly what errors occurred so they can be resolved, or when the backup is a total success it gives information on the time of backup and amount of data copied. I also use it, and recommend it to clients with laptops for "bootable" backup purposes. Synchronize Pro can be configured to do a bootable backup to an external firewire or usb drive, in the background, whenever that drive is connected and mounts. It will trigger the backup script to run when the drive becomes available. If the hard drive in their laptop fails, they can boot off of the external backup and be back immediately - without having to RESTORE anything. Also, if the external drive purchased has a 2.5" SATA notebook drive inside, you can install the drive in place of the bad drive. I've tried several other products, but most leave one important feature out here or there. Synchronize Pro, with the addition of email notification, now has all the features I use for various types of backups. I highly recommend it. [alert admin]
