    Comments about Duplicati as an Alternative to SyncBack

    It's not a great alternative, as it's got a different premise. It primarily compresses/encrypts folder X as file Y on destination Z for versioning. It's a backup-tool NOT a folder-sync and hence only one direction. Unless this is exactly what you're after.

    Impossible to run the sync when a new file is created or an existing file is updated.
