Need Copy Program - what will do this function?

• Backup is needed for a 2TB Data HDD (not Cdrive).
• Need to auto-copy over contents/changes to data stored e.g. daily/weekly.
• Both original & backup HDD need to be both online fully-working.
• Backup HDD - must remain working & functional, not an image backup for the future rather a more conventional 'copy/paste/replace contents' concept.

So the copy-program copies over any content changes from A to B & both drives are online & fully working & accessible.

 

FreeFileSync

 

Bvckup2... the best replicator in the business. Uses DeltaCopy to only update the parts of files that have changed.

 

If you like scheduled batch files, Robocopy. It's already in Windows.

Code:

@echo off
if not defined RunTask set RunTask=1 & start "robocopy" /min %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /c "%0" & goto :EOF
robocopy G:\ F:\Backup_G *.* /mir /XD "System Volume Information" Recycler $Recycle.bin /copyall /dcopy:t /r:0 /log:c:\rclog.txt /v /xj /tee
attrib -s -h F:\Backup_G

 

I've been using FreeFileSync for about a year now and very happy with it. You can schedule batch jobs for unattended syncs but I've never done it, I've just read about it in the Help file.

 

You could check out PureSync. Not sure whether or not it will do everything you want, but it works very well for me. http://www.jumpingbytes.com/en/puresync.html

 

I have two that I have used in the past. FastCopy and Karen's Replicator. I am not positive they will do everything you are looking for though.

 

Thanks 4 the replies guys. Went with robocopy with a simple gui for ease of use for novices. And I gotta give a big thumbs up.
