Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Some programm which is able to recognize newer versions when copying
« on: April 05, 2006, 04:16 PM »
Hello everybody,
I have a rather hard time to save my documents on the other hard drive, an external disc. I have to manually find the folders which hold my new works (from original drive, let's say "C") in Explorer and then copy them, because otherwise the system would just copy from the scratch. It would copy everything, if I would just highlight for copying the main folder and that would last hours, because they are big ones. Good would be to tell the system: copy "C:/" to e.g. "D:/" and then the sys would quickly find out what has changed and only copy the new files.
I have an FTP programm for instance, which absolutely notices the date/time of the file-version and asks me, whether I want to copy the already uploaded files. ("Newer version exists in the destination folder - do you want to copy it?") When I click "no to all" the programm just updates the files which have been changed since the last copy-process. Is that not wonderful?
Regrettably my system does not do this. Maybe someone knows whether there is a device already available for free? I have Windows XP installed on the C and plain folders on the D (no XP there).
Thank you for warming up your grey cells for me.
