Anyway of doing this? Auto Backup

Sirrel Squirrel · 23 Sep 2007 at 22:43

On my computer I have a backup folder on one of my hard drives but I'd also like to keep this backed up to one of my other hard drives. Is there anyway of making files automatically copy from one folder to the other everytime I put something new in one of them?

Hope that makes sense!

there's probably a program that can do this (but it'll run in the background monitoring it all the time)

you could schedule synctoy to copy new files from a folder, say hourly..

Is that a program?

Batch File?

Copy c:\xxx videos\*.* d:\xxx videos and then /-y to overwrite it!

And its Microsoft Sync Toy very good

That sync thing is cool

Aye I asked for help in another thread and SyncToy was suggested to me.

I've found it brilliant to use, my favorite free find for these last few months.

robocopy is more flexible (made by ms too), and it's commandline based, they have a gui for it too
