How to Restore Profiles with SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro

Losing profiles on SyncBackSE or SyncBackPro can happen due to various reasons, such as Windows reinstallation, profile corruption, accidental deletion, etc. This guide will walk you through the process of restoring your profiles using the automatic backup feature. By default, SyncBackSEand SyncBackPro create backups of all profiles when the program is closed.

1. Locate Backup Folder

If you haven’t changed the default backup settings, your profiles’ backup copies are stored in the following folder:

C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\2BrightSparks\SyncBack\Profiles Backup 

Replace [username] with your Windows login username.

2. Explore Sub-Folders

Inside the backup folder, you’ll find sub-folders named Mon, Tue, etc., each containing backups of your profiles. These folders are organized by days, allowing you to revert to a specific day’s backup in case of mistakes.

3. Import Profiles

To import the profiles, navigate to Export/Import -> Import Profile in the main menu. Note that the AppData folder is hidden by Windows, so make sure to configure Windows File Explorer to show hidden files and folders.

Important Notes

• The paths provided are examples for SyncBackSE. SyncBackPro users should adjust the path accordingly.
• SyncBackFree users can only perform manual profile backups via the Export/Import tab > Import profile.
• The profile backup path can be modified, potentially differing from the defaults mentioned above. To view or modify the path, access the Burger menu > Global Settings > Settings tab.
• When importing Group profiles, ensure you import individual profiles within the Group before importing the Group itself to prevent deletion of empty Groups.
• For nested Groups, import them from the ‘inner’ to ‘outer’ order to avoid deletion issues.
• After restoring Fast Backup profiles, consider performing a Force Rescan, and for sync profiles, clear history unless you’re certain of the contents’ consistency.

By following these steps and considering important notes, you can seamlessly restore profiles in SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro, ensuring a smooth experience in case of profile loss or corruption.
