Folder Synchronisation

[JD]

Ok

I have a few folders on my pc (has two 500GB Hard drives, XP as I'm a luddite) that I would like to automatically sync with each other, as I am paranoid about losing one disc, and losing my music and photos

I also have a portable HDD which I like to keep the same Music folder on for transport

now when I used to do this since the dawn of time, I just went to the master folder and selected it all, copied it, then pasted into the backup, and keep clicking through the no to replace items boxes that popup

but this is becoming hugely tedious with over 800 folders within the folder


there MUST be a way of doing this?

Start, run, cmd, enter
type xcopy /?
learn the syntax, job jobbed.

Gets twitchy when the external drive isnt there though.

+1, it's easy to use and free. Works like a charm for me even over the network.
