Good Mirroring Utility ?
 

I have a couple of small 250GB USB hard drives that I'm using to store content on. One is primary, one is secondary and another one for even more insurance. What is a good mirroring utility so that I can make sure all these drives have the same content on them? I want to have 3 copies of everything :)

RAID?

or rsync stuff to them periodically

No raid. I'll just want to hook them up ever so often and sync them up.

#!/bin/sh

usr/bin/rsync -vrltH -pgo -z -D <source> <destination>


will allow you to sync...

Dean - well guess you won't be using Windows soon but it has a built in back up system for local drives that can mirror them and you can set them up to do it automatically every so often with the task scheduler. I know you can do this on a Mac too, especially with a simple script and a cronjob.

you can this on mac to one of the drives (primary to secondary) using timemachine. Then script the one to the 3rd disk...

I don't plan on leaving windows....just broadening my horizons :winkwink:

I use Ghost personally. Recommended everytime I have asked this same question.

Dean are you allowed to start threads without posting a pic or two? I think we have rules around here... :-P

DC, when you go HD, 250s quickly become a thing of the past welcome to the wonderful world of TBs. I have clients now dropping off 1.5TBs

250s... LOL!!! You're funny.

For windows, we use SyncToy.

It's a free application from Microsoft.
It's only purpose is to sync folders, that be on the same disk or different disks.

For Mac, use SuperDuper.

Excellent app.
