Backup vs. Sync


Recommended Posts

1. What is the difference between (advantages/disadvantages) backing up files

to an external HD (XP Backup) as opposed to coping them to the ext HD and

sync-ing them with the originals?

 

2. Is there a way to use MS SynchToy without having to install .net frame?

 

Thanks for the help!

A backup is simply a copy of the source files to a target location. A synch

is a mirror (files not in the source will be deleted from the target).

No.

 

What are you trying to accomplish?
