| 348849 | 2005-04-26 00:18:00 | Trying SyncBack ex PC world suggestion.To use they ask for a source and destination. What is meant by that?I have no idea. Help would be much appreciated. |

| 348850 | 2005-04-26 00:21:00 | The source is what you want to back up. The destination is what you are backing up to, ie; supported media which may be a hard drive, CDR/CDRW, DVDR, flash drive, tape, another computer on a network, etc. | Murray P (44) | ||

The first thing they asked was profile,so I put in Picassa. I put Picasa in source and hard drive, destination,it said no such thing. In what form do you put there requests? |

| 348855 | 2005-04-26 09:31:00 | After reading this thread, I thought the syncback looked useful . To check it out I looked at the April PCW CD . Much info there, and a link to syncback site . Even more info, & a link to their forum . But after reading forum posts from users with many problems, I'm not sure . Seems it will not 'span' CD or DVD discs . Often it will not write to RW discs . They say these discs need to be formatted as UDF . Their 'help' suggests this can be done in Nero or Easy CD creator, but later they admit it does not always work . There are many more user problems on the forum . The forum comments put me off, but maybe these are isolated incidents . It would be interesting to know if any PF1ers are using this syncback and getting satisfactory results? Any comments, Thanks . |

| 348856 | 2005-04-26 09:51:00 | I was looking for a decent back up system,so as to transfer to disc prior to reformatting,due a loss of sound. Would I be better you use ghost for this? |

| 348857 | 2005-04-26 11:00:00 | Well, Cicero that question was one of many I saw on the syncback forum. The answer was no. It is not intended to do a full system backup, but only data backups. It was recommended to use a disk imaging app, such as ghost etc. But can anyone give advice or experience with this app.? |

Best of luck with app,the vibes are not looking good. Would have thought if going to design backup app they would include all formats,but then what do I know,to put it kindly,not a lot :) |
