Tip - if you make a donation to the site, you will get an ad-free installer.  Hmmmm...




The paid for $Freefilesync version comes through!!

I used https://www.freefilesync.org/ without problems for a long time.  The only reason I stopped is because Reflect does everything I want - no need for two tools.


Well lookie there! That's the program I used to use! Looks a little different but mostly like they just added new stuff. Thanks heaps for that. :D
 
The only thing bothering me about it is that they are calling a subscription a donation when it's clearly not.

Well I'm a cheapskate, so I restored the free installer from quarantine, set Avira to ignore, and scanned it with HitmanPro, which did not detect anything.  Next, VirusTotal reports that only 7 out of 74 AV engines detected anything.  Pretty much all PUP, so not really a threat.

So ran the installer, and it did not show any ads, or offer to install anything else.

After the install, ran a full system scan with everything, and nothing but the installer came up as a PUP.

So probably nothing here to be concerned about.  Looks like a useful piece of software!

Does Microsoft's SyncToy not do what you would need?

Is FreeFileSync Better Sync Software Than Microsoft SyncToy?

I use Acronis 2017 True Image and just reviewed my backups after reading this thread. 
Everything is automated. 
I have local HD backups, cloud image, and document backups. It all runs in the background. I've got it all in the cloud if my hardware fails or is stolen. I think it costs $100/year with unlimited storage. 
I can't rely on myself to keep it all safe!

And from what I can see, it doesn't need one.  It just works.  Some things don't need to be updated every year.
