I bought 2 120Gb Seagate drives for some archival storage due to massive files being produced by the new camera and Photoshop. The 2 drives will be rsync’d so that I have a backup copy of the drives themselves but this left the problem of getting the Windows machine to easily copy its files to the server.
The difficult thing came in that the directory on my laptop will not be identical to that on the server since I do not intend to carry all my photos with me all the time, it is already almost 10Gb big so a simple copy of some sort wouldn’t work. I did some searching and came across SyncBack which is an awsome Windows Freeware tool for doing all sorts of complex syncing even supporting FTP servers as destination, has a scheduler and options for emailing reports etc. If you ever need to sync or backup a Windows box to somewhere else then this is the tool to use.
