I have a W11 desktop PC with about 3TB of data consisting of family videos and pictures. I currently have it on an 8TB internal HDD and once every 3 months do a copy to my external HDD and delete the old backup.
Moving forward I am looking to have the external HDD connected to the PC 24/7 and monitor for changes in the source folders on the internal HDD and mirror those changes to the external HDD. So if I delete something on the internal, it deletes from the external. Add to the internal, it adds to the external.
After some research of looks like SyncBack 11 will do this and is free. I see Veeam mentioned quite a bit. What is the best option out there for free or low cost?
Edit: I see freefilesync may be an option. https://freefilesync.org/download.php
Thank you!
