Hello all,

I have a couple of 16GB sticks I use for keeping backups of daily work on documents etc.

However, I am currently MANUALLY copying over stuff and trying to keep all in sync across 3 sticks!

This is a pain and prone to version MESS UP more often than not!

Any solution for this problem out there or it has to be "scripted" and if so any tutorials?

Ideal Solution: A single point of entry (folder) and the rest being taken care of.

Thanks all for your input!
 
Yes, a program called synctoy. That will keep sets of folders (or indeed drives) syncronised and is essentially a one button process once set up, meaning you don't have to manually copy things over.

It's free from microsoft in 32 or 64 bit flavours. ver 2.1 is latest I believe.
 
Might look into this also as I manually backup my USB key to my external HDD and it's a pain keeping track of new files etc to backup.

I use rsync, I believe the windows equivalent is robocopy. Not heard of synctoy.

robocopy is the command line only version
synctoy is the windows GUI version, with the ability to run from the command line
