Great way to sync files for backup
After being annoyed for a long time on a good way to synchronise files to a backup location I have a good answer. I have been using a tool called Sync Toy for about a year now and it works a treat.
It works on the simple premise that you have a left hand folder or drive, and a right hand folder or drive. The great thing is about this system, is that the destination folder or drive can be anywhere, on the same computer, on an external hard drive, on a network and I am sure other locations as well.
I have set up various folder pairings, here is an example of my photos synchronising to an external HDD. When I add a photo or delete one (fuzzy or a duplicate) then this change will also happen on the right hand folder. If there is a little change to a large file, it will only sync the parts of the file that change.
I prefer this to the solutions bundled with external HDD because it seems much cleaner, faster and I can sync to a network location!
The thing that would be better than this is a if live mesh folders could be placed on network locations and on external HDD. Get on board.
