X-Ecutioner Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I previously had a 4 x 40gig raid5 setup in xp. I just bought 2 250gb drives and feel raid 1 is a little extreme as i only want some things backed up. I'm looking for a type of file/folder sync program that I can use to copy certain folders to my second 250gb drive - preferrably one that is scheduled.I thought about just running a batch to copy all files over and not overwrite existing (to save copying over 100gigs of big files that never change), but some files would be updated (such as unattended install files).Anyone have any pointers?

Zxian Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 If you want to copy the actual files over, SyncBack or SyncBackSE is my recomendation. I use it to copy my "My Documents" folder over to my server every night. It'll only copy over whatever files have been modified/added/removed based on your preferences. It can also be scheduled using Windows' built in Task Scheduler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awilliamson Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I use SecondCopy 7. I have many profiles, and it's simple to configure It also has thottling so it takes little resources as you desire while running. It can even ZIP the files to the drive, to save space as needed.
