Backup/Automatic Synchronization Software

[AllMac]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some good backup software.

What I want it do is to back up a specific folder from the C drive to my external WD drive. If I add data to that specific C folder, I want the back-up utility to silently copy all the data I've added and back it up to the external WD drive without me even knowing about it.

What can everyone recommend?


Cheers

I use Second Copy and it works perfectly. Once you install and set it up you'd never even know it was running.

SyncBack SE from 2brightsparks.com. They also have a free version which sounds like it will do what you need.

Microsoft also has the free SyncToy; I don't know whether it works with Win7. I prefer SyncBack to SyncToy.

Second Copy is good too and I used it for a while but found SyncBack SE met my specific requirements better.

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely check out your suggestions.

Hi Allmac you may want to add GFI Backup to your list of apps to check out ... have used a lot of other solutions in the past but this just works for me
