Backup vs. Sync
These days it's very common to synchronize, or Sync in short, your PC data files and folders with a local storage or cloud-based system. There are plenty of such services available. The hard disc manufacturers bundle some kind of "backup" software with the drive, which most of the time does "sync" your files and folders to that disc. The cloud-based sync services keep your data sync-ed with their online storage, for a monthly fee – ranging from US$5 a month to US$100 a month, depending on the amount of backed up data, the service level (quality, speed, reliability) etc. Sync is pretty easy to understand – the latest snapshot of your data is stored somewhere; if you need it, you can get it.

Backup, on the other hand, bundles up the required files from your PC and stores is as an "archive" on the destination storage – a local hard disc or an online storage (cloud, FTP etc.). There are two types of backups – full and incremental. A full backup takes a snapshot of all your required data files at that time and creates the archive. Since it includes all the files, the "full" backup archive is big in size, even if compression is used, which means it takes storage space and also some time to complete. The "incremental" backup includes only the files that have changed since the last backup – full or incremental, i.e., it records the changes from the last backup. Since less number of files change often (say daily), an incremental archive is much smaller in size, and hence takes a lot less time to complete. For any computer, it's practical and recommended to use a combination of full and incremental backups, such as monthly full backup and daily incremental backup.

The difference between backup and sync is that sync is convenient and simple to understand, whereas backup is a bit complex to understand but more dependable. In some scenarios, sync is absolutely fine and good enough. However, in most cases sync keeps only the latest version, or at most a few recent versions, of your files. If you by mistake delete or overwrite a file, sync doesn't know that. It "trusts" that you know what you need or are doing, and will faithfully mirror what you have done – delete or overwrite / replace the earlier files. If you want to get back a file from may be a year before, which is often a requirement (especially in legal scenarios or for compliance), your sync-ed version might not have it. Despite its somewhat not-so-easy ways, with backup you can choose to keep as much (or as little) of your old data as you want or need. For example, if you need 3-year old version of some files, you can get that back from a backup archive, as long as you have kept those archives. A well thought out data retention policy is the best arrangement to get back data as it evolves over a period of time.

Replicator
filexpertez Expert Replicator helps locate all the files that match the required types, size, date & time etc. from multiple folders and sub-folders across your hard disk, and makes a copy of all those under the exact same folder hierarchy – with just a few mouse-clicks. You can detect and resolve file conflicts as well as view files on-the-fly.
Eraser
filexpertez Expert Eraser helps find and get rid of unwanted and unnecessary files, such as temporary files (.tmp or such) left behind by various applications, as well as the "just for now" files we create all over the place. Identify a bunch of files by searching for type(s), size, date & time across the folders, and delete in one go.
