Hi. The recent lost of many important professional files (pictures) made me want to switch backup and sync application.
I am very interested in GoodSync, which seems to be automatically monitoring moved files and folders, which is something that could be very helpful to me (the fact that I have to move files a lot may be the one thing that made me lose some of them).
But, paranoid as I am, i turned on the MD5 switch, makinbg the process very very slow. My previous backup software had a CRC check as well: it was way quicker though.
Is MD5 examination overkill? In fact, since I am involved a lot in data duplication (digital film), I always ask for CRC check of some kind on work. But is it really necessary?
I am using three Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8 computers in a home network.
