I've got a cron job running rysnc daily from my ClarkConnect drive to a
external USB, there is also a pearl script checking a couple times a
day if my laptop is ping-able, if yes it then runs a My Documents rsync
back to the box. cwRsync Server runs on the laptop.
I'm not sure what would happen
A second HD and robocopy. Vista now included robocopy.
robopy m:\music b:\music * /E /COPYALL /PURGE
Using 2 eSata drives I can backup a full 600+ GB in approx 2 hrs.
After that it only gets quicker by applying what's changed to the
second directory not another full backup.

I use Allway Sync to backup to a external HD. Its great, you can even
have several profiles... If you use it too often you have to buy.

Schindler's Profile:
I currently use MS Backup, and this weekend ran a manual backup after
upgrading a few drives for larger capacity. The backup time is crazy
(it took well over 24 hours to backup and verify around 240GB of data)
so I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice...
I currently use normal backup
Check out SyncBack. I'm using it and it can detect changed files.
Works like a champ for me.
There is a freeware version and a $$$ version. The paid version
obviously is a bit more powerful but the free version will do the
trick.

Hmmm. Yeah, that's the problem. I configured MP3tag to maintain the

see which albums were recently ripped to FLAC and which ones are still
MP3 just by looking through Windows Explorer.

Nice one - thanks Auto Pilot: I'll give that a try. Even if it takes a
lot longer, I guess that it surely must be quicker to run a
differential backup using Synctoy than running a complete backup each
time... I'll post back with an update :)

Be careful with Echo. If you delete a load of files accidentally then
Synctoy will happily delete them from your backup too!
At least I think so.
You may be better off with Contribute and then if you really do mean
to delete stuff, do it manually from your backup too.

RAID is not a backup solution, nor is it a valid replacement for a
backup solution. RAID serves two main purposes - improved performance
(striping) and reduced downtime (fault tolerance/hotswap). Unless
you're running a radio station from slimserver (how cool would that
be?!) I don't think either
First off, I don't think there are necessarily any easy solutions to
this unless you have a relatively small library. I'll deal with small
and larger libraries separately because I think they warrant different
approaches.
*Small libraries*
If your library fits on a single drive I'd simply make
