Simple file copy backup software

[edscdk]

I know i can do an xcopy / robocopy, but i wondered if there was some backup software that would let me do it...

i looked at acronis and easeus but they want to create a backup image not just replicate/ copy the dataset onto a USB drive

any suggestions?

I use SyncBack myself. They do a free version.

I use freefilesync. Can do exactly what you need and has the initialism of ffs

Bvckup.

Veeam Backup Agent. It's free, just need to register. Awesome for folder backups and whole system backups

Another +1 for syncback. I like the preview that shows what files will be added/deleted/updated - if you've inadvertently deleted some files / folders then it's a bit of protection against deleting these from the backup too

FreeFileSync

Another vote for FreeFileSync, use it daily. Great bit of software.

For individual sync Freefilesync is great but for versioned file and volume backups I can recommend Veeam Agent which has been previously said is free.

There are a few options you can consider :FreeFileSync ,Gs Richcopy 360 , SyncBack and GoodSync , these software options should meet your requirements for replicating or copying your dataset onto a USB drive without creating a backup image And Remember to review the features and limitations of each software to choose the one that best suits your needs.
