DESCRIPTION

Synk... The professional's synchronization toolkit. N-way synchronizations, advanced rule capabilities for arbitrary actions and archiving, flexible scheduling options, and more.

All versions of Synk 6 feature the revolutionary new ZeroScan technology, which makes updating backups up to 100 times faster than competing products and previous versions of Synk.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 6.3.3:
  • Fixed problem with UI becoming unresponsive when working on batch scripts
  • Fixed problem with automounting disk images
  • Now only using the path to the disk image file to identify mounted disk images (disregarding volume UUIDs). This reduces resiliency to the disk image file being moved, but helps with the surprisingly common case of a disk image file being duplicated and then independently used, making the volume UUIDs no longer universally unique.
  • Fixed a problem with updating to the 6.3.x script store format
  • Worked around a problem that could cause "bad file descriptor" errors to be incorrectly returned to Synk in certain circumstances
  • Reenabled ZeroScan for operations on lists of folders
  • Enabled "autorun on mount" support for volumes involved in a list of folders
  • Improved support for resolution independent display (a.k.a. "Hi-DPI")
  • The usual variety of general tweaks, improvements, and fixes
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

**...

MATTLY  I want to like Synk, but after using it a bit, synkd, the helper process that manages automatic backups and this "zeroscan" thing that hooks into the Kernel knowing about file updates, is using 700MB of REAL MEMORY. This process is supposed to be resident ALL THE TIME. When the Synk.app process is running, between the two they're using over a gig of memory. That's just not acceptable.

Thanks, but I'll stick to SuperDuper, despite its problems.  (Version 6.1.1)

ME2  Been using Synk for years...developer is very open to suggestions and responds to queries fast. This Pro edition is a real 'machine' and does a superb job of backing up to multiple areas while you sit back and relax knowing the job is done.  (Version 6.1.1)

FFASS  I never wanted to be a collector of backup programs but I that's what I've become -- I must have about 8 programs that I've tried or used over the years. Synk (standard, or middle, version) is finally what I've been seeking: an intuitive, stable, fast, easy-to-use backup program with a fantastic archiving feature. My prior program of choice was Tri-Backup 4, and that has a decent archiving feature and worked OK, though it seemed to not backup all of my updated data files, and it's not a Universal app (proud owner of a Mac Pro). The developers of Synk clearly put their minds and passion into this app and I think it shows: it looks great and functions great.  (Version 6.0.2)
