Mirroring a Folder

Hi List, Has anyone had VoiceOver success with software to mirror a folder to a harddrive or the reverse? I want to keep my music folder backed up to an external disc. I have tried File Sync to no avail. Would love to hear people's recommendations. Thanks. Marc -- You received this message

Re: Mirroring a Folder

after the first round it doesn't take nearly as long. rsync is also network aware so you could copy stuff to a volume on any other computer that supports rsync, which would be any recent OSX machine. Could you also accomplish this just with Time Machine? CB On 4/11/12 5:49 PM, Marc
