Your first backup will be a full backup of all your files. They can be scheduled to run overnight when you're not using your computer. Backup programs store the backups in an archive, which preserves the timestamps. The popular ones are Macrium Reflect and Easeus ToDo backup, though I also hear AOMEI and Paragon Backup also mentioned frequently.
There are a lot of free ones, but backing up to a network location is usually disabled on the free versions (though you should check - there might be a free one with the feature enabled). Use a backup program which supports differential or incremental backups - these backup only files which have changed since previous backups so take a lot less time to run. I feel like it is probably pretty simple, so any help would be great! I am a full networking noob.
Synkron not copying new folders to destination how to#
The other problem is I don't want some super clunky third-party program hogging resources to copy files once a day.īasically, I just don't know how to do this.
The issue is that file history adds timestamps to things and changes the organization of my files somewhat. In the future, I could see my storage needs meaning that my NAS/900D holds the bulk of my files and I just cache them locally, but for now I think keeping a running copy is fine. I have been trying to use File History to copy the contents of drive A (in my rig) to drive B (in the 900D based storage server I now own). This is funny because they are literally in the same room, but either way, I feel this system is a bit better than just running redundant drives in the system. I work with video/photo so really, it is just redundancy in case something were to happen to my main rig. I just want to keep a running offsite copy of files. Basically, I need to copy files from one drive to a network location once a day or so, but not duplicate them. I realize the thread title is generic, but I couldn't think of the best way to put this.
