How to Automate Your PC Backups Easily with ASCOMP Synchredible

Data loss can happen in a flash due to hardware failure, malware, or accidental deletion. Manually copying files to an external drive is tedious and easy to forget. ASCOMP Synchredible solves this problem by automating your entire backup and synchronization process. Here is how to set it up and secure your data with ease. Why Choose Synchredible? Synchredible stands out for its simplicity and efficiency.

User-Friendly Wizard: It guides you step-by-step through creating backup jobs.

Versatile Synchronization: It supports both one-way backups and two-way syncs.

Smart Automation: It triggers backups based on schedules or specific system events.

Network Support: It easily backs up data to local drives, USBs, and network shares. Step 1: Download and Install Get the software ready on your system. Visit the official ASCOMP website. Download the latest version of Synchredible. Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts. Launch the application to view the main dashboard. Step 2: Create a New Backup Task

The software uses a wizard format to build your automation rules. Click the New Task icon on the toolbar. Select your Source Folder (the files you want to protect).

Select your Destination Folder (your external drive or network location). Click Next to move to the direction settings. Step 3: Choose Your Sync Direction Define how files should move between your folders.

One-Way Backup: Copies files from source to destination only. This is best for traditional backups.

Two-Way Sync: Keeps both folders identical. Changes in either folder replicate to the other.

Subdir Options: Choose whether to include all subfolders or skip empty ones. Step 4: Apply Filters and Advanced Rules

Optimize your backup so you only save what you actually need.

File Filters: Exclude temporary files or massive system logs by extension.

Date Restrictions: Set the task to only copy files modified within a specific timeframe.

Deletion Options: Decide if deleting a file on your PC should also delete it from your backup. Step 5: Automate with Schedules and Triggers

This is where the “easily automate” part comes into play. You can choose exactly when your backup runs without your intervention.

Time-Based: Schedule tasks daily, weekly, or at exact hours.

Event-Based: Trigger the backup when Windows logs in, logs out, or boots up.

USB Detection: Set the task to run the moment you plug in your designated external hard drive. Step 6: Save and Run Review your settings on the final summary page.

Give your task a recognizable name (e.g., “Daily Documents Backup”). Click Finish to save the task.

Click Execute to run the first backup immediately and verify it works.

Once configured, Synchredible runs quietly in the Windows system tray, protecting your digital life automatically in the background.
