Hi, I have one internal SATA drive which is 160gb.

I also have one external western digital drive which is 160gb.

Basically what i want to do is make a backup of all my personal data, such as music, photos and documents from my internal drive onto my external drive. Reason being so that if ever get any faults with my system then i dont loose my data.

I have been recently copy and pasting all my folders from the pc to the external drive but find that most the time their isnt really need to copy all the data so what i was hoping is that their is some sort of program which you can syncronise to backup all your data, say once a week onto my external drive but only moving across the files/folders which are needed.. As at the mo if i know i have only made a few new files etc then basically i have to go in to 'My documents' select ever single file, right click, copy, and then paste onto the external drive..

Any advice would be great..

I would skip to the secound step one to see if it already installed. if it is not then go back to do the orginal step 1-5.

Thansk for reply but I had noticed the Windows one, but what i think is better is an exact copy of the files, i dont really want to create a file which is an actual backup file which has to be ran, i just want to basicall create a copy of the 'My documents' onto my external drive.
