Hi Guys,
I use 2 drives on my pc one as a main the other a backup.
As regularly as possible i backup my current working folders (the older folders that haven't changed stay in place on the backup drive)
From time to time i copy the backup drive to an external drive.
This works but is down to my discipline and it a bit too manual.
I've just looked at the windows 7 bundled software and it looks fairly average to me as you have to schedule the backup and it appears to only do whole folders or directory trees.
In an ideal world what i'd like is something that periodically looks at my photos folders and see if it's in sync with the photos backup folder on the backup drive - if it isn't it simply makes a copy of the new / changed files only - greatly reducing backup time.
Is this possible - if so can anyone recommend software that will do this ?
Many thanks,
Mike.
