Recommended Utility: MS Synctoy

[ruykava]

OK, this is the best backup and syncing utility I've used in a while, and it's free! Simple to understand and works like a charm every time. I'm surprised it's not more well known.

After setting up synchronisation, every night I just pop in my external HDD, run SyncToy, and relax knowing all my data is safe.

Also try Synchronize It! from www.grigsoft.com. I've used it for a few years, now (still waiting for updates - currently at version 2.8 or something). What I like about it is the ability to create 'projects' that involve multiple folder pairs. It can be totally automated as well. Interface not always the easiest, but you get used to it.

Forget what it cost - maybe US$20 or so.

Have been using this for many years. For eveything from laptops to server use.

It works really well and is 100% stable. Have used it daily for many years etc ...

Top versions are not cheap.
