fine but i really want to "manage features" directly by specifying a 
commands.

thanks for answer, but i really don't recommend anyone using "all in one" 
tools as it's always to have problems with "one" than with "all".

google "rsync for windows".

It is not a danger if you run this "no really sure" tools from windoze and 
you see whether it finished work properly or not.

syncback works fine and is used by me. but it is not high performance, it 
can use only FTP or windows share destination.

for backing up "my documents" it is fine anyway.
