About ChronoSync
ChronoSync synchronizes and backs up files from a Mac to almost anything it can reach: external drives, NAS devices, other Macs, PCs, iPhones, iPads, selected cloud services, or any mounted volume. It can also make bootable backups to external drives, or to remote drives through the companion ChronoAgent.
The full version costs $49.99 with a 15-day trial, and a bundle with ChronoAgent costs $59.98. ChronoSync Express, a cheaper entry-level edition, is sold on the App Store and Setapp.
