    Microsoft Sync Toy


    Been using the above for a while but cant seem to be clear on the settings for backing up my documents to an external HDD.
    There are three options:-
    Synchronize
    Echo
    Contribute.
    At the moment I have it set on the Echo mode,Been thinking is that the best option to have it set on.
    I would really like to know if anyone else uses this piece of software that can give me some thoughts on this please.
    I'm using windows 7 home premium .

    Many Thanks.

    This should clear things up for you - it explains the 3 options with worked examples:

    SyncToy - Backup User Data

    ECHO is the safest option to use, so if in doubt use that.
