![]() Thereafter, however, it only copies any changed files. My initial backup (340Gb of data over 131,549 files) took over ten and a half hours to complete. So instead of synchronizing in ‘two directions’, both to and from my two PCs, I just want it to keep a ‘backup copy’ on PC Two updated with any changes I make to the files on PC One. I want one ‘working set’ of data and one copied set of data. In fact, my requirements are a bit simpler. With FreeFileSync you can create named backup sets and synchronize groups of subfolders across two computers. In that way you could work on the same data on two PCs and let FreeFileSync synchronize them. That means that you can, in principle, have two complete copies of your data and let FreeFileSync work out which are the most recent copies and then update any out-of-date files by copying the newer versions over them. ![]() This lets you synchronize copies of folders and sub-folders. So recently I’ve been using a rather fine file-copying program called FreeFileSync. ![]() ![]() As I have a lot of data – video files for my courses, document files for my books, plus images, program code and all sorts of other stuff, I really, really don’t want to lose anything. So if PC Number One goes wrong, I can just switch over to PC Number Two and carry on working. In spite of taking daily incremental backups (I use Macrium Reflect for those), what I would really like is to have complete, uncompressed, unarchived, ready-to-run copies of all my data files on a second PC. I live in dread that my PC will suddenly cease to function and I’ll lose all my work. ![]()
