synctoy - good or not

[gnewbury]

I've been experimenting with backup tools, I hate losing a WU because of a reboot etc..
However this has grown beyond backing up my folding folder.

My goals are:
Compressed backup
Only the diffs
EASY RESTORE

Killer and others have posted batch files.

Is there any experience here with MS synctoy?


/edit
That's ms synctoy 2.0B

Use Robocopy. It's very fast and flexible and very reliable.

xcopy and a .bat file will work.

This is what I use. The backups are small & the .bat file automatically deletes old backups. Nothing needs to be compressed. That just adds an extra step. Its very easy to restore (copy &paste.) http://www.maximumpc.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=68610


You can try ntbackup too.
Go to start, run and type. "ntbackup" press enter.
You can download it here if needed.
