Mirror files and folders to another drive...
Published on May 25, 2008 By Bebi Bulma In Personal Computing
One very important word in computing: backup. Needless to say I've been pretty slacking with backups, and I'm looking for a way to make it easier.

This is what I'd like to do: create mirrors of a few folders onto another drive, and when I add new files/subfolders to these folders, the utility will automatically copy them into the respective location on the other drive.

Example:

I download more pictures from my camera to my pictures/random, the utility will then automatically copy those pics to the same mirrored location on another drive. Or, I get a new icon set in steph/icons/newset, it would add that folder to the steph/icons/ folder on the separate drive.

I was looking at KeepSafe, but from what I could make of it, it only backs up documents that get altered and saved, and looks like it backs them up all to the same location.

Is what I'm after do-able?

Cobian Backup is good for copying/mirroring just newly added files to any folder/directory


The one I use as well. Daily incrementals and a full backup each Thursday.

Can run as a program OR a service. FTP, backups with or without compression and will filter compression allowing you to exclude certain filetypes (7zip) Automatic system shutdown upon completion, MUCH MUCH more.

For me Ghost is the best... Latest version can backup files whole harddisk or anything.. comes with image explorer which instantly opens backup..
Try it.. even viruses can't touch the backup... visit symantec
