The Mess Hall

I'm after some (free) software that allows me to create a mirror image of one folder on my HDD to another HDD.
Preferably on the fly in the background, and not incremental backups.

I want to create a backup of my music folder to another HDD and as I add files, they are also created on the backup at the same time.

does anyone know of any software like this?

Am lost.

You want something that would backup a folder onto Harddrive 1
and Make a Duplicate copy of it on Harddrive 2

But if you add a Music Track to Harddrive 1, You want it adding to Harddrive 2.

Technically i would class this as incremental Backing up.
"Incremental Backing up, is where it will only Backup / Copy new or modified files"
Full Backup is where it will copy the whole lot at a Fixed time and Date.

If there is no change to any other files in HD1, it will not copy anything over to HD2,

If what you want is a Program that will Copy Everything from C:\Music
to D:\Backup\Music %DATE%

And then when changes are made it create a new folder in Backup Called "Music %DATE% +1"


There is ALOT of programs out there, Some free some paid,
I used to use a Good one, But its not free, "Cracked Copy"
"NovaBACKUP" Was what i used.

But personally i find Linux my biatch for backing up.
Its like 500x faster than windows with 1/4 of the specs.

What I need is software that detects a change and copies the changes only.

I want to backup my music and iTunes folders, have a live folder for each and a backup.

When a new file/album is downloaded it then copies to the backup without copying the whole folder again.

Ok coolio, You after incremental then.
Detects a change and then makes a backup,

Ill have a look at some ones i used to use for FTP backing up, Will work perfect for you, just ensure compression is not enabled.
