Hello Everybody,

Well, till now I dont use to Backup my data, until one day I was in urge to loose it..
And since then I decided to back up all my photos. Hence looking for some help related to it..

I am using 2 HDD, 500GB(main) and 160GB hdd and looking forward to use 160gb one for backing purpose..

I need to back up one entire partition of 500gb HDD which contains only photos and videos (I m kind of fotugrapher :P)

One option is to copy all folder and files from that drive to the back up HDD...
But I very frequently process the RAW files which adds a .xmp files with the photos and also process photos and save as JPG in same drive...

Now, I want that any changes made in this photo drive partition should automatically bring change in the file or folder associated with it present in back up HDD...
So that if any day I loose the main photos, I do have the processed stuff of the same photos as backup...

Could anyone suggest if there is any method to do so...

PS : Copying the changed folder/file specifically wont be possible as there are many sub folders..
Using Win 7

Thanxx in Advance..:)
 
You can use SyncToy to sync files between your partitions.

1. Download and install SyncToy.

2. Start SyncToy and create a Folder Pair

3. Choose Left Folder(Partition you want to backup) and Right Folder(160 GB HDD's Partition)

4. Choose a Synchronization Method.

5. Click on Run to start the Syncing Process.

Voila!

There are many syncing tool, but SyncToy is teh best.

Does SyncToy automatically updates the backup once any change is made in the original data....??
