SyncBcack Free runs from individual profiles that, once created, then
can be combined to run together as examples, in instance, on the one
hand, each with a discrete logged output to be subsequently examined
for what they really would have done if, figuratively, one wanted to
implement more. Whereas there is a configuration option permitted to
provide from more than one head, so to speak, were profiles such a
head, of course, such that all heads are either to run simultaneously
when not selected for obviously, on the other hand, consecutive
profile processing. Indeed sometimes copying portable SyncBack
entireties to different locations may be more advantageous to focal
locales than extemporaneous directory creations, within one SyncBack
locale, a user might provide to contain over instance of more than one
profile sets, then to substitute for another set of profiles, over a
potential of as many 26 logical drives defined, or more, across
hardware or within OS platforms on such as Oracle's virtualization.
The drive profile sets and preference operatives initiated are all
associations contained within the same directory as the SyncBack
executable, at least in 2006 they were.

Beware of some of those. The favourite ('Duplicati' for Windows) has
download file which is marked 'beta' and is an .msi fil. Do you trust an
.msi installer from MS as a 'portable' program?

For example:
jsMSIx.exe - A simple GUI program. (Compiled EXE file.) Runs on all
Windows versions. No installation necessary. The easiest option. The most
complete MSI unpacker program available. Free.
Windows Installer Unpacker for MSI/MSM Files - An HTA. (A program
written as a webpage and powered by VBScript.) The most flexible option.
Runs on all Windows versions. For "power users" who may want to inspect an
MSI by feature, component, etc. Also includes tools for repackaging MSI or
MSM contents as a normal installer.
Simple "One-Click" MSI Unpacker - A simple VBScript. (A plain text file.)
No interface. Just drop an MSI onto the script and it gets unpacked. The
script functionality can be customized by anyone who knows VBScript. (Runs
on all Windows versions but may not work as drag/drop on many Vista/7 PCs
due to problems with permission settings.)

Recently had a spate of false positives over a pair of 2Tbytes' files.
Possibly 500K files involved with some apparent duplicates SyncBack
reported as different, whereupon when drilling through them for
comparison, I really couldn't see why they were flagged differently
from source/target profiles that appeared identical. In any event
there weren't that many files, and I wasn't actually doing anything
more, based on the SyncBack flags -- only running it in "test mode"
for the LOG file which was used for identifying files physically not
on either drive, I then manually sorted out.
First time, though, that that situation has arisen, and looking over
those false positives there did not appear any reason to explain
offhand why or what might have triggered SyncBack's having tagged them
for an overwrite.
Something perhaps more critical, I suppose, could involved taking an
approach of generating MD5 Checksum HASH tables which might offer
better subsequent means to respond to a comparison events for whatever
happening to SyncBack to cause it raise those red flags.

Picked up a CHM (help) SyncBack file, possibly included in a
download/distribution if once upon a Hong Kong website -- search
string result is log (two over from the CHM index):
Log Settings
By default the log file, produced when a profile is run, is created in
HTML format. By selecting this menu item you can change the log file
format, or choose not to create a log file at all.
Presumably not written as generic to its commercial SyncBackSE
counterpart (both for the free version to disallow logging files).

When you're setting up a backup "Profile" in SyncBackFree (or if you
right click on an existing profile and select "Modify"), click on the
"Expert" tab if you're in the "Easy" view. Then click on the "Log" tab
and you can disable logging for that profile or (like I do) limit
logging to "Only when errors occur".
I know that this works, because I just checked and I have no log files
for SyncBackFree anywhere on my drives.

I used that for years before I switched to FreeFileSync.
It's tiny, portable, and does the job.
Can't remember why I switched.
Probably decided I'd put so many hours into writing the
FFS_BATCH files it would be a waste to delete them.

Thanks for that suggestion where I generally run a five-minute test of
promising suggested freeware found in this esteemed newsgroup. :)
I ran that quicktest & it didn't pull any sleazy tricks (that I know of).

Create a shortcut in your Taskbar cascaded foldout accordion menu folder:
c:\menu\archiver\replicator.lnk
TARGET C:\app\archiver\replicator\PTReplicator.exe
Run Karen's Replicator on Windows 10 v2004
Taskbar > menu > archiver > replicator
Press "Edit Settings" to begin.
My first test was simply to copy digital volcano duplicate cleaner:
Job Name: test foo
Source Folder: C:\app\cleaner\duplicate\dv_dupcleaner\
Destination Folder: C:\app\cleaner\duplicate\volcano
Change from:
Run Job every 1 day [x]Enabled
Change to:
Run Job every 1 day [_]Enabled
Press "Save Job"
Interestingly, I don't see a "run job" command.
Is it a task that can only be scheduled in the future but not currently?
