GoodSync is one of the best SW for backing up and Synchronizing drives

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

GoodSync is being used to perform synchronization and backup of individual computer drives and it is being used for single computers and server drives. GoodSync is especially useful when synchronizing drives to capture all the changes made from one drive to another. GoodSync can easily identify the files that have been deleted or moved and ensure a consistent file structure.

Pros

synchronization and backup
easily identifies files that have been moved
identifies deleted files and prompts user if there are conflicts

Cons

GUI can be improved
performance - mainly speed but this can be a function of the drive
a feature to identify new drives

Likelihood to Recommend

It is mainly because of its features and reliability. Even when dealing with large drives, after the analysis step, it can identify the changes that occurred between the backup or synchronization drive and the master drive and presents to the use the choices of what should be done about the changes. The user can accept the changes or tweak which the backup or synchronization will do. The SW will remember those decisions for future activities on the same drives.

Alternatives

For reliability, GoodSync is beyond comparison. Some of the other tools I tried either fail through the backup/synchronization process, leaving one with unknown status of what has been backed up and what has not, wasting an inordinate amount of time because one has to repeat the whole process. Goodsync, even if it stops because of power glitches can easily pick up where it left after performing the analysis
