Anybody use "syncToy"

[oldgit]

A colleague has recomended Microsoft synctoy for mirroring data from one drive to another. Sounds (oddly for MSoft) very good.

ie for keeping those all important backups of photos.

Anyone use it or have a view?

I tried it to backup my data to an external drive on a regular basis, but found the options too limiting for what I wanted to do with it.

I settled on a better bit of software called "SyncBack" who does the same job, but better (Although it's not free like Synctoy)

I use synctoy to back up my photos from my laptop to my server (and other stuff, like documents, Firefox and Thunderbird profiles etc etc)

Easy to setup and use, and just as good as any commercial software

I use it in conjunction with MS schedule, both free, auto back up every night, very easy.
