I want to keep a large collection of songs and pictures (get the recurring theme here ;)) synced with an external harddrive of mine for general backup purpose.

I've looked into the windows backup option in Vista but it doesn't let me use the files when they're backed up. I wan't instant access to them as well (a basic copy function would be nice).

So whenever i plug my external hard drive in the folder is checked against the primary one and any changes are mirrored (deletions, modifications, additions, everything).

What should i be looking at?
 
SyncToy works whenever i install vista, but refuses to run on the laptop (running vista) crashses as soon as it runs as well!

never the less assuming it works SyncToy gets my vote :)
 
Well works for me guys, and yeah does the perfect job. I just didn't try it because i had heard stories about the power toys not playing nice with Vista...
