Does this kind of Backup Software Exist?

[Stangs55]

I've downloaded several backup programs now, but have yet to find one that does what I need. I want to be able to backup and compress several folders to my 1Tb NAS...BUT I also use that NAS as a music server when my PC is offline. So I would like to find a program that ALSO can "backup" my PC's music directory to the NAS but maintain the file structure...in other words, when I add a new folder to my My Music folder, I want to program to scan nightly and see a new folder is there then just update my NAS with that folder.

What program am I looking for?

Thanks.

I'd personally use a scheduled script running rsync, but I have no idea how well rsync works on Windows.

I use FileSync for our servers when we were changing data servers. See if that works for you. I don't know if it will run on a schedule though I haven't played with it much at all.

Vista's built-in sync should do this (if the NAS is supported). Otherwise map the drive and synctoy will work just fine.

Microsoft SyncToy will do this.

Thanks for the replys. Synctoy looks to be a stripped down version of kinda what I was looking for 🙂 since you can't schedule syncs and it's not an integrated backup/sync program. Oh well, I guess I can still run this and acronis as separate programs. I'm just surprised that an integrated program doesn't exist somewhere out there...

Did you look at SyncBack?

Look at Allway Sync

SecondCopy can do that as well.
