Use MS Synctoy to Automatically Backup Your Thumbdrive
-
So I finally purchased a new 16GB thumbdrive to replace the one I accidentally stepped on and broke (the data was unrecoverable and at the time I didn't really have a complete backup of that removable disk). I know you are going to ask so I will explain, the desktop is just off the floor and the usb port in the front of the box, not the most perfect design, imo. Like most of you, I have a growing collection of thumbdrives and I bet most of you are backing up or syncing your thumbdrives in some manner but if you aren't I wrote a quick wikihow.com if you are interested. I mainly wrote it because I know in about 6 months I am going to forget what I had to do. I was just about to code something up and then I found SyncToy by Microsoft.:thumbsup: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Synctoy-to-Automatically-Backup-Your-Thumbdrive%2C-Quickly[^] (I only tested these instructions in WindowsXP SP3 as of this posting)

I really liked SyncToy, until I discovered SyncBack - won't use anything else now. They do a free version, but I went for the pro version as I needed some of the more advanced features. regards, Jonathan

I use Media Go to back up my PSP files, then use SyncToy to back up the Media Go files to my NAS box. Works great. :) Flynn
