When I was searching for SyncToy I found that SyncToy was discontinued and is no longer available for download. It was much more customizable and powerful than the built in backup tools in Windows 10. I also liked that it was very lightweight and a Microsoft program.

What's the best replacement for this tool? Are there any present GUI Microsoft tools for copy or backup have Synctoy features and has option to schedule tasks and run as a service ?

    Unfortunately, the official download link for SyncToy has been broken or removed. You can safely download SyncToy in this alternative site:

    On the other hand, options like "schedule tasks and run as a service" are available in alternatives like Syncback and Gs Richcopy360

    I just downloaded the x64 2.1 version from MS archives on my OS (Windows 10 21H1) and it works fine : SyncToySetupPackage_v21_x64.exe
