Folks had been touting a tool from Microsoft called SyncToy which I tried, but for me was very unreliable. I found a simple, free program on the net called ICE Mirror that does the trick for me. Just point it to a source and destination directory on any drive and it'll take care of mirroring the files exactly. You have to start it up manually, but it takes care of all of the sync'ing chores for you, including removing files on the destination that have been renamed on the source, etc. You can also run more than one instance if you want to sync multiple directories simultaneously. Nice tool for a freebie.

I currently have 2 HDD's in my PC. I have 2 large important folder
trees, one with my music and on with my photo's. Currently i am
manually copying everything between drives, but this is becoming a bit
of a chore and often i forget.

So what software people here use and would recommend for me?

I don't want anything fancy, i.e. compression is needed as obviously
its already compressed. Just a simple solution with folder syncing and
preset times (over night).

Oh, and free would be nice too :D
