Use Backup when you want to create copies of your electronic files 
for future retrieval, in case the original files are corrupted, lost, or 
otherwise inaccessible. You can also use Backup to archive 
infrequently-used files, so that you can make room on your storage 
drive for more current files.

A Sync operation duplicates files in their native format from one 
storage device to another. The copied files are immediately 
accessible on both devices. The image below illustrates this 
process.

Use Sync when you want to quickly duplicate the files stored on 
one device to another device, without having to manually copy and 
paste files. This option is useful, for example, if you work on the 
same file on two different storage devices, and you want the latest 
version of the file to be available on both devices.

When you initiate a Backup task, the software asks you to specify 
the source and destination storage devices for the task. When you 
initiate a Sync task, the software asks you to specify which two 
devices you want to synchronize. This section provides important 
information to keep in mind when selecting source/destination 
devices or Sync targets.

❖

The Source device is the storage device containing the files you 
want to back up.

❖

The Destination device is the storage device where you want to 
store the backup copies.
