Backup software that compares existing files/organization?
I am looking for a backup software that will basically replicate the files and folder structure from the source drive to the target drive (backup) automatically or when needed.
For example, if I delete, move, or rename a file on the source drive, I would want it the be replicated on the target drive. Right now I have been just copying and pasting files from one drive to the other and duplicating all actions (deleting, renaming, moving, organizing) which is rather tedious and annoying. I don't mind paid software. Hopefully someone knows something out there. |

I'd go with a simple raid 1 config, but you can try these...

"rsync" is free and specifically designed for this purpose. It's usually installed on Linux distributions out of the box.
https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync Given 2 servers: rsync -avP [email protected]:/path/to/source/folder /path/to/destination/folder/ You can also do it within a computer as well if you have multiple drives. rsync -avP /drive1/source/folder /drive2/destination/folder Subsequent runs of the command will check modified dates and file checksums. From there it will only copy the changes. You can run it once a day or however often you want. It's installed in OS X as well and can be used in the Terminal. |
