JERM IN AZ  I had been looking for an application that would sync to my NAS or from a USB drive to a server. Though time machine works

pretty well for Beth's iMac I wanted something more dynamic and flexible for my needs. In addition I felt it was important for me

to be able to schedule jobs or specify different jobs and execute them as needed in lieu of automation. After much searching an

demo exercises I plunked down my $40 and bought a license for ChronoSync.

It has everything I needed. Flexibility to specify what I wanted to back up. Manual or scheduled. Easy drag-n-drop

configuration. The GUI is nice and clean. The ability to set a myriad of control options as well as specific rules for each sync job is

a great feature. Of course you can verify and, at any time, see what has changed or been modified at a glance. If it's RED then

the file has changed since the last sync. The options to sync one way, bi-directional, mirror, blind backup or create a bootable

environment provides a lot of flexibility. Also has your typical logging features.

While much can be done from the console (scheduling cron jobs) the ease of use, flexibility and dynamic features are worth the

$40 if it's a function you seek. Especially for non-techies who may want something they can see and understand.

Last thing, the license is forever. You buy it, you own it. Free upgrades. Although you need to submit for a new license for

major upgrades using the email address you registered the original purchase with.
