How to make a manual backup, so I have redunant copying my files

To ignore the story set in the last paragraph
I have thousands of pictures on my laptop. I also have another, my desktop computer, a significant amount of disk space that I use for my backup
I prefer manual backups as I want to use the content on both computers. I change my daily photo library, remove some photos that I need more, add new ones, so at the end of everything I have thousands of pictures on my laptop, most which are saved on the desktop, there are also a few new on my laptop that I would like to copy on my desk, AND there are a few elders on the desktop are no longer on the laptop (that I would like to delete)
To say the easy things, all I want to do is make an exact copy of the photos on my laptop to my desktop folder.
The only way I found to do this was to copy the whole folder to the desktop and then remove the old version of him
If I just copied the new version of the folder just above that older new photos get copied but older are deleted
Redundant comments: how to make an exact copy of a file in, say, another partition that has an older version of this same folder, which means that there is some files (in the older version folder) is no longer, I need and would like to get their removal, and other files that are already present in the two cases, I want to NOT crash. I can't do it manually because there are thousands of files and hundreds of files! Can anyone help?

In addition to the tool to try it, I forgot to mention that Windows Live Sync app keeps files in constant sync, so if a file is changed, it will distribute the latest version of all locations synchronized.  But if a file does not change, it will not re-synchronized.

However, there is another tool that is a bit more customizable and can be run on command (there's even a command line command so you can put it in a batch file or scheduled task).  It's Microsoft SyncToy.  Here are some resources that might interest you:

  • How to make an ESXi backup on USB?

    I have a few servers ESXi 4.1 on USB keys. Now I wonder how can I save the config ESXi and USB itself, in which case the USB will be dead or damaged? One of the USB key on a single server is already showing the signs to go to rest forever, and I would like to have a backup of it. Is there a tool I can use to create a backup on another USB key?

    xcom1000 wrote:

    Thanks, I was looking for some kind of script. And the backup process itself is ok, but the restore configuration procedure needs to be alive and running of the ESXi host. So in case of emergency (USB key works do not), what would be the correct procedure to restore the server without hollow is a complete reinstallation of ESXi and reload the config with vicfg-cfgbackup?

    Well, everything depends on how many ESXi servers you have.

    If you have small env is not worth to spend a lot of time for preparation of extra super recovery too. I don't know anyone who supports up that ESX or ESXi breaks.

    For small env:

    1. PowerCLI script -you can create the script CLI power for each of your guests with specific parameters

    http://communities.VMware.com/community/VMTN/Server/vSphere/automationtools/PowerCLI

    Catering requirements:

    ESXi server must be running in - running

    restore procedure

    manual installation of ESXi (15 minutes), after installation, run a script (2 minutes) against the new server and DONE

    2. with the help of vMA

    Create a bash script that would back up ESXi firmware, set it on a weekly basis in crone (on the server of the vMA)

    Restore requirements

    ESXi server must be running

    ESXi must be on that same level as if it were before the construction accident

  • How to format a Dell Backup and Recovery DVD disc copy?

    In 2013, when I bought my Dell Inspiron 15R is 7520, it was preinstalled with the Windows 8.0 operating system. Using the Dell B & R software right now, I created 8.0 Windows system image in different regions in 3 DVDs.

    Since then I have had then improved to 8.0 Windows 8.1 and year last at 10.

    To avoid the loss of data in case of failure of equipment/system, I created the image of the system of Windows 10 in an external hard drive (WD Passport 1 TB).

    But other readings suggested that I also need to create a bootable in case system repair disc if Windows refused to load. That's why I wanted to format the disks from windows 8.0 image I created in the year 2013. However, the disks are write protected and I can't format it.

    Can someone tell me how to format disks that are protected from writing software Dell B & R?

    Thank you.

    If the media is DVD-R or + r, it is write - once.  You will need new discs to make a new recovery boot disc.

    If it's on DVD - RW or + RW, you can format the disks using Windows or another utility (Cyberlink, Nero, etc) and re-use the disks.

  • How to make a Vista installation CD (I have a product key)

    I have a Gateway laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium OEM Act.  It did not come with installation disks and my hard drive failed recently and I had it replaced.

    I have the product key but am completely lost in how I can access installation CD.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Laura

    The product key you have, Laura... for the OS that was on the hard disk that failed.

    And, you do more, right?

    It's what they call OEM operating system... this product key goes hand in hand with THIS hard drive, nothing else.

    The Setup is, in addition, on this hard disk.

    Usable ONLY for this hard-drive/computer.

    It's in a RECOVERY partition on this hard disk, and you no longer have this hard drive, right?

    You can buy another CD of Installation of operating system.

    Can't find an answer.

    I want to exclude certain folders when you do a manual Virtual Machine backup Parallels.

    There are thousands of responses but all backups on Mr. time.

    And since I had a crash when restoring a virtual of TM machine I won't use.

    I have no problem with manual backups.

    But since my photo file is about 100 GB and I don't change anything

    often, in this case, I want to exclude from the backup of file that records everything.

    Greateful for any suspicion.

    Can you clarify, you try to back up only via Parallels

    or try you backup via Time Machine and want to exclude a folder?

    If this last, go preferences of Time Machine and choose your folders to exclude

    If you only back up Parallels see here
