Folder Duplicate

MrAdamski · 21 Aug 2013 at 16:53

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible under Windows 7 to create a folder to duplicate to another drive, like a RAID 1 configuration but for a single folder.

For example, i have an ssd for my 'C' drive (lets call this drive 0) , a 1tb 7200rm hdd (lets call this drive 1) and a 120gb 5400rpm hdd (call this drive 2) , i would like to be able to have a folder on drive 1 that i would like to,when edited, duplicate onto drive 2 in the sort of manner a RAID 1 configuration would be.

Any further information please ask,
Thanks in advance.

I used a robocopy command in a batch file which I could run manually or weekly via scheduled tasks.

Should be idea for what you need.

With the right commands you can do incremental/differential backups, so once the first fully backup has ran future runs will take much less time
