Backup Plan
I have 2TB internal disk space. And another 2TB external as a backup. I always pictured my backup being a mirror of my HDs contents. I remember having a horrible time searching for backup software, and finding nothing that didn't backup into one file with annoying set backup times and schedules.
Then i found Microsoft Sync Toy. and all was good. Until one of my internal HDs crashed, when i went to retrieve my data from my external HD i found thats a lot of my files had been corrupted by Sync Toy. I then done further experimentation and noticed that Sync Toy wouldn't update files that have been changed, and even more frustrating, wouldn't update files after i deleted them from the backups folder. Ive also experienced Sync Toy eating up all the CPU and bringing my system to a hault.
Ive probably gone a bit long winded there to explain, but what I'm looking for is software like Sync Toy that actually works! I want to create mirrors (or echoes as Sync Toy calls them) of my HDs so i can access the files on them. Also i don't want any of that automated backup nonsense, id like to click a button and make it happen when i feel like it.
Any suggestions ideas etc.. Thanks in advance and thanks for reading
