but
okay we've all been there at least I
know I have your hard drive crashes in
the last time you backed up was
never and we all seem to be moving
around a lot of files lately between our
laptops are desktops and our thumb
drives how do you keep all those virgin
straight
well bill carrie is going to tell us his
company cyber systems has just released
the latest version of its good sync
software
and bill is here to show us how it works
welcome bill thanks rob me
alright so let's start with the basics
who is this program
designed for and what does it do what's
really designed for everybody
if you think about it more people are
using other computers for more things
so for example they're saving that
picture as they're saving their music n
thing about how devastated you would be
if you lost all your pictures you can
take the last couple years it's happened
to me
and so good think is really designed to
a backup your photos
%uh so you'll never lose them again and
we have a variety of automatic settings
and all kinds of stuff for the first
time user
okay I know there's probably no hard
numbers on this but what's your gut tell
you about how often people
back up their systems well our gut tells
us nobody's doing it it's either too
hard or too complicated
and no one's doing it so we made it
really easy for the first time user
okay alright so tell me and he
he asks a VP of Sales Marketing there
are a lot of backup programs out there
and this doesn't do just backup and
synchronization which will talk about
the second but in terms of backing up
what makes this different from anything
else out there
well there's two things you can do it
you can do backup which is simply moving
it from one direction to the other
action
or you can do synchronization which I
should compare files into locations this
but this program will do both
he can you back up which is a simpler
thing but if you want to work on files
in two different locations
this program smart enough to know which
one you change latest
and make them all equal okay and in
terms have a
backing up one other thing that's
different about this is remote
capability tell us about that
where we just added the ability to
synchronize over an FTP connection
an FTP is just a fancy way of saying I
transferring data over the Internet
to remote server so not only can you
back up a file from your hard drive to
your
and the external drive you can take it
now over the Internet
to external location in case the
complete is that you have it
you know of why someplace okay great I
tell us about the sinking program I
you got it installed here you can shows
how it works I do I set up a real simple
task I set up 10 files in one directory
and I have 10 filed another directory
right before we started a change very
odd number file so we can see it
really if you look at the program I I
tell you
you know we made it easy there's really
two options are analyzing their
synchronized
and so if I press analyze its gonna
analyze my C Drive
and compare it to my e drive which is
the file do and you'll notice that
files the art files came up has been
changed on the left side
on the left side to my left side is
looking at my C Drive on the computer
and the right side is looking at my age
I was just a little flash drive a hacer
the dow
and you'll see that file 1357 I have
changed and they really my
all I have to do that the it is easy is
hitting the sync button site at the sync
button
and you'll say all the equal signs now
which means the files have been moved
from
my CMIE and they all equal each other
and so now we're all set
okay the power back in a change on in
these files in a press allies again
go to show the file that I change and i
press think you can repeat the process
okay and you can set this up to be
automatic turn is it something you have
to do but lets a beautiful we're looking
at the market and why people are backing
up you know either the programs too
complicated or there were remembering to
do it and so
we focused on those two things in 30
easy but we also variety of automatic
settings
and you can do it you can do with the
sync automatically one good thing starts
up when you insert a
I Drive you can do periodically so I can
send it to do it every two hours every
hour every five minutes if I want to do
that
okay and how much does this program cost
it's a free trial when I wanna try get
used to a user for free so the free
30-day trial after 30 days
you have you can keep using it for free
if you think up to 100 files
so if you just using it as a casual user
you know you can keep using it for free
after that the one-time charge of 1995
okay so what is the
what is the pro version get your the pro
version is basically a lot everything
you know you can sync an unlimited
number of files you've actually tested

at once
and so with their with the pro version
