G'day mates,

Just stumbled across a program called SyncBack being promoted in the 
latest Tudogs newsletter to hit these shores, and that reminded me 
that I still haven't managed to find a good, simple, file 
synchronisation program like the old Australian Two Disks of a couple 
of decades ago.  (It was actually meant for working with A: and B:, 
but you could fool it into handling directories on C: to some extent 
by judicious use of the current directory and the SUBST command -- all 
said with that pervasive proviso "IIRC". 8-)

Has anyone tried this SyncBack thing?
http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html

As common these days, it comes in two flavours: free and pro.
(Or at least that appears to be the intention but the pro version is 
still in development AFAICS on the site.)

The free version has the decency to provide a "no install" option, 
which is encouraging in these times of bloated rude software.

I'd be pleased to hear of any user experience with the product (now at 
version 3.2 by the look of it).

Thanks for your time.

Cheers, Phred.
