This is the best application I have seen built by Microsoft. They finally get something right, backup’s made easy. With the options available and the ability to run as a task, Synctoy 2.0 is FREE and EASY!

Here are the available Backup options:

  1. Synchronize: New and updated files are copied both ways. Renames and deletes in one folder is repeated on the other.
  2. Echo: New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames and deletes on the left are repeated on the right.
  3. Subscribe: Updated files on the right are copied to the left is the file name already exists on the left.
  4. Contribute: New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames on the left are repeated on the right. Similar to Echo, except there are no deletions.
  5. Combine: New and updated files are copied both ways. Renamed and deleted files are ignored.

Requirements: XP or Vista

Advanced Tip: To run Sync as a Task… use the -R switch to run all sync’s you have created.
