Windows Sync Application

Hi All,

I'm looking for an application that will sync certain files between a USB key and my local C:\ drive, without having to sync the whole directory structure.

On my PC at the moment I have C:\ _Filing which holds all of my reference material (with subfolders 0-9 and A-Z). I also have a replica called C:\USB that contains the same file subfolder structure and I keep that in sync (using SyncBack) with my USB key. The problem is some docs exist between C:\USB and C:\_filing causing me confusion.

Ideally I'd like to have C:\ _Filing and any files under that I wanted to keep also synced with my USB key I could flag for this purpose (maybe with a right click action?).

Any ideas anyone?

Adrian

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
