Copying to ext. hard drive
I do not believe in the backup and replace system - fat lot of good a backup will do if my win7 machine died and I had to buy a win8. So the way I protect my files is by copying all my important folders to an ext. drive. This takes about 30 minutes.
Now, suppose I only changed 10 files since my last copy, is there an automatic way with Windows Explorer of copying/replacing only those ten files rather than everything, other than by remembering which files they were that need replacing and doing it manually? My Documents folder contains some 5000 files; if I change one file I still copy and replace the entire folder. There must be a better way.
I hope you guys understand what I'm getting at; I'm 70 years old and not very savvy with technical terms and words.
Thanks in advance.
