Syncrify Description
Syncrify is a remote backup software solution that uses HTTP connections so you can view and restore your files via your web browser.
It implements the rsync protocol over HTTP. The communication channel is encrypted using SSL and HTTPS, and you can secure your files on the server using the AES encryption algorithm.
Every user is given an ID and password, and administrators may supervise who connects to the server in real time. The backups are bidirectional in Syncrify which means the program supports client to server and server to client transfers.
File access and compression
You may restore files from either Syncrify client or from a web browser. The client can be used for restoring entire profiles, single folder or file, while the web browser allows you to retrieve backup files from any computer. Syncrify compresses your files before sending data over the network.
Incremental backup, sync, scheduled tasks, and multiple versions
Syncrify supports incremental backups, which means it automatically compares the differences between the source and target files and copies only the changes not the entire items. This way, you can save some bandwidth.
In addition, you are allowed to synchronize folders across multiple machines, schedule tasks, and maintain multiple versions of a backup file on the server.
Prior configuration settings and web-based interface
There are several configuration parameters that you need to tweak in order to gain access to the web-based console. You need to set up a master password and configure email settings (specify the SMTP server/port number, user and password, enable SSL connections).
The Home tab provides details about the used, allocated and total memory, current activity (date and time since the server is running, total and active sessions), and active users.
What’s more, you can view all users revealed in a list, check out info about each one (e.g. email address, repository path, used disk), as well as modify, rename or add a new user.
Reports and admin settings
Syncrify lets you create reports by user or date, generate reports that indicate the inactive users, and send reports via email. Pus, you can set up alerts in case of incorrect password attempts, block IP address, and alter the HTTP configuration.
An overall efficient tool
All in all, Syncrify comes with a smart suite of features for helping you opt for remote backups. The free edition of the program applies only to non-commercial use and is limited to a single user account that may have up to five profiles.
Versioning, encryption, two-way sync, server-to-client backup direction, and plugins are not supported. They can be tested for 30 days and you may upgrade to the Professional edition if you want to continue using these features.
