Never said synctoy was the only option, but for scanning nearly 350gb of data daily
and finding the only changed files and then backing them up to a USB hard drive works
wonderfully. However, I use 1.4, not 2.0. I don't like 2.0.
This works for me and my office and has yet to fail us with issues. Been running
it for over 2 years now. Thanks for your help.
