So.. I managed to get my first backup for storage (tight on budget and stuff, and quite specific usecase where CD/DVD dominated HDDs, anyway) and I can't find one opinion about making it copied between two. No it's just cold storage drive I use when I need to access specific stuff, but mostly add to it, so there's no need to make sync after I will make copy of it (I'll just be adding on two different drives same stuff from another storage)..

What I found is.. It's reccomended to use software focused on that area of file operations. There are decent open source or free tools.. I have dilemmah wich of these I should use, but maybe there's some hidden gem you could recommend? Rsync - focused with good opinion, but commands line and no idea about speed FreeFileSync - GUI, rest as above did - I know that guy, I know it's missing a bit in speed but is quite tidy and could backup everything from one to another, right?

It's just rookie thing, about 4 or 5 Tb and 2 external drives connected via USB 2.0 (probably, tho drives use 3.0, but not device I want to use for it).. And I wonder what way will be best to make copy in less than few days ๐Ÿ˜… sorry for language flops, I'm kinda messed recent days
