Dear gs, you are welcome to laugh at metl:dr: asking for a seamless/easy solution/software that syncs my go-to-job external hdd with an internal-home-pc secondary hdd in windows 10Probably my scenario is use case scenario is lame. I work at a hospital doing research, can't use a NAS bc there is no internet, and I move between 1 to 2/3 PCs at job (some days really just one) where I work with raw files that I manipulate in MatLab, it's just electrophysiology (not image) but each experiment starts from raw files (say 30gb) that generate preprocessed and further in the pipeline files that may amount to 300gb per experiment easily.But I work at job as well as at home. So the perfect solution for me is an external hdd that I can use at the hospital PCs as well as athome when I stay in.There are no robust hdd for my use case. External hdds are designed for users to store their media but I want to use it everyday. Assuming this, a solid back-up practice is required in order to not mess up. Last year my (WD) HDD got corrupted by a crap dock station and this Christmas, just the other day, a Seagate external HDD only one year old got suddenly fucked out of nowhere. I had done transfers from it to my PC but obviously there is data from the last month that I didn't copyAssuming I develop a good habit of copying files to one or to even two (let's just keep it at one for now) everyday when I get home. What would be an easy-to-use software that mimics my external HDD and one internal HDD without having to copy everything everyday? I just bought 2 nvme 2TB disks and one en enclosure. One will stay at home at my mobo and the other one (with the enclosure) I will carry to job/trips/whatever. I want something that mimics both disks that is easy to use, like, I get the discipline, but let me just hit a button every night I come home and only copies the new (or newest different files) files that exist on external disk to internal. People talk about robocopy, is that the deal?
>>107637595Robocopy is probably what I'd use, yeah. You just have to be careful with the flags, I've accidentally deleted stuff because I misused /MIR, but once you know what you're doing it's a very powerful tool.
>>107637712I've just started to look at it and at first it looks complicated. Command prompt shouldn't drawn me back, I will dig deeper into it, thanks anon. I wondered if there is a more laidback solution tho, but thx a lot^^
>>107637595Might be a job for syncthing
>>107637995Besides robocopy I've rear about an old program called FreeFilseSync.>>107637712 Will give Syncthing a look now,,
