Technical Requirements
SyncBack File Server is cross platform and can be installed on Windows XP SP3 or newer, OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or newer, iOS 6 or newer and Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) or newer. Android devices must also use ARMv7 CPU's that support the NEON.
Purpose
The SyncBack File Server (SBFS) is a cross-platform file server. It allows remote installations of SyncBackPro or SyncBackSE to connect to it to copy files to and from it. For example, you could install SBFS on your mobile device to backup its pictures.
Quick Start
To quickly use SBFS:
- Install SBFS on the device whose files you want to access using SyncBack. This could be Windows, OS X, iOS or Android. Download the appropriate installation file from the 2BrightSparks web site.
- Run SBFS on the device. For Windows there’s nothing to do as it runs in the background all the time.
- Install SyncBackSE/Pro V7.29 or newer on your Windows computer. SyncBackFree cannot use SBFS.
- Create a new profile and select the Source (or Destination) as SyncBack File Server.
- On the SBFS settings page (in the New Profile Wizard or when modifying your profile) click the Find button. If SBFS is running on the same local network then it will find your SBFS server. By default no username or password is required. Click the Test button to verify.
- If SBFS is not on the same local network, or it cannot be found, you can enter the hostname (or IP address) and port (which you can find by looking at the SBFS interface while it’s running).
Security and Configuration
By default SBFS installations require no username or password to access them. On OS X, iOS and Android devices you can change the security settings of SBFS on the device itself via its menu. On Windows, SBFS runs in the background as a service so you must configure it using SyncBackPro or SyncBackSE.
SBFS supplies two types of security: you can optionally set a password so that it cannot be accessed via SyncBack without the correct password, or you can configure it to use the SyncBack Management Service (SBMS) for validation. SBMS is the recommended option when you have multiple SBFS installations
