There are four different ways to install SyncBackPro:

 

•The standard installer that requires a Windows administrator to install, e.g. SyncBackPro64_Setup.exe

•Starting with SyncBack V11, there is also an installer that can be used by standard Windows users and does not require an administrator, e.g. SyncBackPro64_Setup_NE.exe

•A "No Install" Zip file that you can unzip to any folder you wish, e.g. on a USB key, that can be used by a standard Windows user, e.g. SyncBackPro64_Setup_NI.zip

•If you prefer to use the Windows Package Manager, SyncBackPro can be installed using winget. Note that for SyncBackPro and SyncBackSE only the 64-bit version that installs for All Users is available. For SyncBackFree it is only 32-bit and installs for All Users. To install SyncBackPro, for example, go to the command line and enter winget install syncbackpro

 

There are a number of paramters that can be passed to the installer, e.g. to silently install. See the Installing section for details.

 

If you choose to install only for the current user then it is important to note that SyncBack will not run elevated. This means some functionality cannot be used. Also, the Scheduler Monitor Service will not be installed (services can only be installed by Windows administrators).

 

 

32-bit and 64-bit

 

64-bit versions of SyncBackPro and SyncBackSE were introduced in SyncBackPro/SE V8.

 

You should not have 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed at the same time. To switch from one version to another (e.g. 32-bit to 64-bit) you should export your profiles, uninstall the old version, install the new version and then import your profiles.

 

Be aware that there are differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions due to how Windows itself acts differently.
