Tri-BACKUP

Thanks Hank. They did just raise the price. Chronosync continues to impress... I will also point out that Chronosync is a one time purchase. Once you buy it upgrades are free forever!

Hello,
This is not the truth. You should have missed something!
5 years ago, there was Tri-BACKUP 5. Since we released Tri-BACKUP 6 late 2011 and Tri-BACKUP 7 early 2014, with minor updates regularly.
Yes, major upgrades are paying (5 or 6 to 7 for example), but minor updates are free (a version 7 can be updated for free to 7.x.x versions).

agreed, although a revamped interface is LONG overdue

I'm guessing in your downloads folder if you're using Snow Leopard. Perhaps your desktop if using an older OS.

I appreciate Miner's comments, not only about this product but about the need to have reviewers chime in who can provide insights based on having used and compared features and benefits, as well as flaws and idiot=syncrosies, of all the products seeking a market in their category. I used to be a diehard Retrospect user, when it was in its heyday and the only game in town worth considering. Now I won't touch it. I agree with Miner is SuperDuper is the software of choice for cloning, but not necessarily for backup, or for incremental storing of works-in-progress. I loved Retrospect for that. I don't much like the price of Tri-Backup, but, based on Miner's insights, I might give it a try. I'll have to run in against Intego's product again, as well as a proprietary product that comes bundled with my external LaCie drives. I find ChronoSync exceptionally versatile for file and folder syncing, and although its document says that it can also clone drives and be used for incremental backups, I have yet to do my test and comparisons. GetBackUp+ is wonderfully fast and easy for syncing up files in different folders across internal and external volumes. So, too, is Syncovery, the new name for the SuperFlexibleSliceEmandDiceEm-LongistWeirdestSoftwareName in the world, which it still seems to be, although Mac purists keep knocking its interface as being too Windoze-like. I never tried Synk Pro, nor did I ever get far into Carbon Carbon Copy, once I discovered SuperDuper and concluded it met my needs in that department. In short, I, too, do not think that there is any one program which does it all, i.e., backing up, backing up incrementally, syncing files and folders across all kinds of barriers, and cloning. So, test them all out, until you find the set that meets your individual needs. Just stop putting a program if it can't be the Swiss Army knife of the backup world: you'll only make yourself sick.

Reviewing software based on an exchange rate and xenophobia is never very helpful. And why not take Adobe as an example of a good 'ol USA company - they update less frequently than Tri-edre AND charge European customers more than twice the US price? Bad practices exist on both sides of the Atlantic.
