synchronize backup files? How?
In order to save a USB key, I want to synchronize with an external hard drive or internal on my home desktop PC. The synchronization should only check for different folders and make them idential. How? I don't want to do it on my network (if possible). History: in the past, my USB STICK I store all my data on 'died '. Fortunately, I had a backup and copied all the files and folders to a new USB key. I don't want to overwrite (or delete and copy again) my backup hard disk because it takes hours. (8 GB). I thought that there is a synchronization program that scans the identity of the 2 files and everywhere where the differences are detected it will be the same as source target. When I take my source USB and insert it into ANY PC, I want to delete or create files and folders, and change files. At home I want to synchronize with my backup on my desktop or my external hard drive.
If you haven't learned your lesson, huh? my USB STICK on that I store all my data "is dead".
There are a number of applications that synchronize files and folders (Windows Live Mesh is not available for XP, independently of the suggestion of the "Support Engineer").
Who might do the trick for you is Microsoft SyncToy. It is a "power toy" developed at Microsoft. Like all the Microsoft power toys, it has not supported by the company (see warning below), but it seems to have stabilized and stuck around for a while unlike the typical Microsoft 'Live' apps, which seem to change and become obsolete, then blink your you eyes.

I attempt to backup my iPhone several times and it does not backup. I received a message stating "several files were not available at the time of the backup. How can I solve this problem?
Hello Lope8725,
Looks like you are trying to backup either iCloud or iTunes, but you have found an error on files being unavailable. Can reply you with the exact wording or a screenshot of the message you are getting?
In the meantime, you can solve the problem with either of those two sections depending on whether or not it's iTunes or iCloud:
If iCloud backup could not be completed or if you can not restore
or
If your iTunes backup could not be completed or you cannot restore from a backup
See you soon!

operating system is windows vista laptop.
I went into system restore settings and couldn't find how to locate my saved files. I think they take a LOT of space, I deleted all other unused files and I have more than 6 GB of free space out of 67 concert. Help, please? I don't know much about computers at all.
Hello
Follow the method of deleting a file of older backup using sub steps and check later if the problem persists.
(a) open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and Maintenanceand then clicking backup and restore.
(b) click on Manage space. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
(c) to delete older backups of files under that data backup file, click on view backups.
You can then select the backups of files that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Remove an entry in the list will not affect the other backups. If you think that you don't need one version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.
