Hi All,
I am looking at some backup methods for my PC, and at the moment the easiest method for me is just copying and pasting large files and folders (studio and video editing sessions) to a HDD (don't have great internet for cloud storage and can't consistently afford SSDs)
At the moment, when I want to update the folders, I pretty much delete the entire HDD and copy across the whole parent folder again.
There is the option to not delete and copy over the folder and it will only copy over new files and or as I understand, files that have changed.
Does anybody know how effective this is?
It can take up to 8 hours to copy over everything to one HDD but I am afraid that there will be files that have been updated but have the same name and file size, that won't get transferred across? Does windows have the ability to say, detect when a file was last updated and recognise that file?
Is their any programs that can do this effectively?
Thanks for any advice.
