Synchronization Google Calendar and Outlook

For some weeks, I was searching for a backup solution for Google Calendar. Google Calendar is great, specially using a PC at work office and a PC at home office. But what happens if something goes wrong? If Google will loose your data, how can you rebuild your calendar that extends for many months?

Knowing the problems I had in importing from Outlook to Google Calendar (date format), I was quite skeptic in finding something good.

I found some synchronization tools and I decided to try SyncMyCal. It’s amazing, it’s very good. I tried the “backup” functionality, for the moment, i.e. Only Download. I downloaded 5 Google Calendars in 5 Outlook calendar and everything went fine. If you want to use it heavily (actual synchronization, not only backup) you have to pay only 25 $. Thank you guys.

Ah, and I’m sorry for Calgoo, but I did not find it very useful (slow, bad interface, not updated since October, poor personalization; hope in next version).

Update: SyncMyCal make the Outlook starting quite slow.

Update 2: SyncMyCal now see old events as new, putting it twice in my Outlook calendar. Not clear if it’s a bug, a mistake in configuration or something related with changing the version.
