Hard Disk Enclosure backup software.

[wahur1]

I have Hard disk Enclosure and now i want to sync few folders of my laptop. What i want to do is that as soon as i connect my hard disk enclosure it should sync those folder automatically as soon as the drive is connected. Can this be done?

Thanks.

I've never heard of a program to do what you want.

you could create an autorun that launches a batch file which fires a robocopy C:\FOLDER E:\FOLDER /mir

one example. but enabling autoplay on external drives can be a bit fiddly depending on version of windows

I do a variation of this using Cobian Backup. You can setup a backup task to run at some short interval (like every 5 minutes). If the destination is not found at that time, it will continue to periodically rescan until it is found, then once found, backup (i.e: run missed backups). The process isnt instant, but it works.

A more custom version of this is to make an always-running script that searches for that location and just kicks off the sync when its found.

I think the free version of crashplan (www.crashplan.com) would do this.
