I've recently bought a external HDD, mainly to make backup's of stuff on my system, well important stuff like photo's and my music collection as I really don't want to rip over 1200 CD's again
The music is not a problem, I can just copy over the new folders as and when I get them. It's more the photo's I'm having trouble with, for example one of my photo folders is around 7gb in size and contians over 20,000 files (Yea, I take way to many photos of random stuff) What I would usually do after I have added new stuff to my folders is just copy and paste them on to the external HDD, but this means it has to copy every single file again and it's starting to take a long time to do. I only do this every few weeks or so to keep the backup's fairly up to date, I could add the new stuff to the HDD each time I put it on my main comp but that would mean twice as much work.
So what I'm after is some backup software that's easy to use and does the job I'm after, something that already knows what files are on the external HDD and only copies over the new ones. Is there anything like that about?
Thanks for any help![]()
