SyncToy v2.0

This new SyncToy release from Microsoft will surely help out some [H]'ers out there that have a hard time backing up particular types of data, and we **** well know some of you have huge amounts of disk space that could be better managed. Seeing how me and the old lady have our own digital cameras and computers, this sounds like just the thing to keep us in sync with each other's pictures while providing a duplicate copy on another box.


There are files from all kinds of sources that we want to store and manage. Files are created by our digital cameras, e-mail, cell phones, portable media players, camcorders, PDAs, and laptops. Increasingly, computer users are using different folders, drives, and even different computers (such as a laptop and a desktop) to store, manage, retrieve and view files. Yet managing hundreds or thousands of files is still largely a manual operation. In some cases it is necessary to regularly get copies of files from another location to add to primary location; in other cases there is a need to keep two storage locations exactly in sync. Some users manage files manually, dragging and dropping from one place to another and keeping track of whether the locations are synchronized in their heads. Other users may use two or more applications to provide this functionality.


Now there is an easier way. SyncToy, a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows, is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories.
