Backup Tool for Your Hard Drive - Microsoft SyncToy 2.1

If you need a good backup tool for your hard drive, then don't search any farther, Microsoft SyncToy 2.1 does a great job in syncing files across PCs and hard drives. The program is simple and easy to use.

SyncToy, a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows, is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without additional complexity. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another case. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.

There are three options available for syncing between the PC and the hard drive, "Synchronize", "Echo" and "Contribute". The "Synchronize" options syncs the new and updated files both ways and removes any deleted files . The "Echo" option is similar to "Synchronize" option but the changes are implemented only one way from Folder (PC) to Folder (Hard Drive) or vice-versa. The "Contribute" option syncs from the left to the right but doesn't delete the files in the right, so if you have some old files, which are deleted in the left folder remains the same in the right.

One feature is missing in this program, which is the automatic scheduled backup option, but other than that, Microsoft SyncToy 2.1 works as advertised.

They are available in 64-bit and 32-bit versions also.

You can download the program for your PC from the Microsoft Site.
