Hi guys,
If this question is super obvious, I'm sorry, I'm coming from the Mac world, so I'm not very familiar with all of the tools available for Windows.
Essentially, I'm looking for a way to keep a few folders on my computer synced to my external hard drive. I don't always leave my external plugged in though, (traveling, etc...) so I would like a tool where I can manually hit a sync button after listing which specific target / source folders I want synced.
Basically, I want some software that auto-detects which files don't already exist, or have been updated, and copies only those. So essentially something that is only one step above manually copying, etc... Then I can use a batch file possibly to automate the process, once every week or so.
Since this seems about as basic as it gets, I would assume there are free tools, but I suppose I would pay if one stood above the rest. Any tips?
I'm sure there is software that is fully automated, but I don't like the idea of having a process / service in the background constantly running, continually looking for new files, etc...
