You can use some form of Backup program to copy the directory to another hard drive on a schedule. You could also set up a scheduled task to run a batch file to delete the contents on the 2nd drive, and copy across all the files to the other drive, every x hours or once a day.

The .bat file could be like the following:

[/quote]del D:\Directory\*.* /s/q
xcopy C:\Directory\*.* D:\Directory\ /e[/quote]

rsync is great for networks because it only copies the parts of a file that changed, but running it locally might be overkill.

I would (and do) just have a cron job that creates a tar of my home directory to a different drive, so I can roll back a day if I have to.

thanks, i think the scheduled batch file is the best option for me. could you please explain what those parameters do? (/s/q, /e)
