I use the open source (Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, Debian) program FreeFileSync(.org) for this exact purpose.

On other Windows boxes I've used Scheduled Tasks to run batch files, although I'm not doing so here. I used the Windows tool DeltaCopy for a while, but it was too finicky. But it did generate a useful command line for rsync.exe, which I now use with UnxUtils. - --Bob. On 2017-06-27 10:03 PM, ted leslie via talk wrote: > I use spider oak for this.
