2BrightSparks heeft zijn backupprogramma SyncBackSE een update gegeven naar versie 4.0.8. Dit programma kan data synchroniseren of simpelweg een backup maken naar een locatie op dezelfde schijf, een andere schijf, een ander medium zoals een cd-rw of een CompactFlashkaartje, een ftpserver of een ziparchief. Naast SyncBackSE is er ook SyncBack Freeware (ook beschikbaar in het Nederlands), een enigszins afgeslankte versie. Nieuw in deze release zijn onder andere geheel vernieuwde ftp- en emailfunctionaliteit, de mogelijkheid om de gebruikte bandbreedte aan banden te leggen en de nodige andere veranderingen en verbeteringen. Het volledige changelog ziet er als volgt uit:
