    Good Mirroring Utility ?

    I have a couple of small 250GB USB hard drives that I'm using to store content on. One is primary, one is secondary and another one for even more insurance. What is a good mirroring utility so that I can make sure all these drives have the same content on them? I want to have 3 copies of everything

      RAID?

      or rsync stuff to them periodically

      For coding work - hit me up on andy // borkedcoder // com
      (consider figuring out the email as test #1)

          No raid. I'll just want to hook them up ever so often and sync them up.

              usr/bin/rsync -vrltH -pgo -z -D <source> <destination>


              will allow you to sync...

                  Dean - well guess you won't be using Windows soon but it has a built in back up system for local drives that can mirror them and you can set them up to do it automatically every so often with the task scheduler. I know you can do this on a Mac too, especially with a simple script and a cronjob.

                      you can this on mac to one of the drives (primary to secondary) using timemachine. Then script the one to the 3rd disk...

                              I use Ghost personally. Recommended everytime I have asked this same question.

                              Dean are you allowed to start threads without posting a pic or two? I think we have rules around here... :-P

                                      For windows, we use SyncToy.

                                      It's a free application from Microsoft.
                                      It's only purpose is to sync folders, that be on the same disk or different disks.

                                          For Mac, use SuperDuper.

                                          Excellent app.
