the premiere software solution for backing
up, restoring, and synchronizing your valuable information. StorageSync provides an
intuitive, easy-to-use interface that lets you back up, restore, and synchronize data simply by
pointing and clicking your mouse.
Product Overview
StorageSync is a complete software solution for backing up, restoring, and synchronizing
data. Using StorageSync, data can be backed up from your computer’s local hard drives onto

Once data has been backed up to these removable media drives, it can be restored by

synchronization tool.

StorageSync automatically uses the backup settings associated with the removable media
drive you attached.
