I have a couple 1TB+ folders between two different setups where I continually clip a lot of cool or funny gaming moments, thousands of them over the past several years.
The last time I tried “backing them up” (just by copying and pasting in Windows Explorer from folder to external HD) took a whole night, which is fine… but the following week when I tried to “update” it with just the new clips it wanted to do the entire overnight process again.
Which brings me to my primary question: What is the simplest “incremental/differential” software solution I could use for this specific case? Ideally free but I don’t mind a relatively affordable one-off payment either if the UI is really nice; I’m a sucker for good design.
Try FreeFileSync for this.
Agreed. I recently tried it not long ago and it’s the best backup software I’ve used. My only regret is not getting it sooner.
Also doubles as a viewer to see what files/folders contain a the most data.
That’s pretty high praise, I’ll look into it today. Thanks a bunch.
Okay, I’m definitely looking into this one as well after also seeing it come up a bunch. Thank you!
