What is the best software to keep my folders mirrored on another drive? I just bought two 8tb drives and I don't want to put them in raid 1 due to incompatibility with other operating systems unless I buy a raid controller.

Don't use raid. Use software that that mirror drives and back up every week/month. i.e. Syncback on Windows.

Syncback is freeware is it worth using over alternatives like synctoy? I just want to be sure the software is good before I use it.
How do they work when torrenting will it constantly write while a file is being downloaded? Or can I just schedule it?
>>58827894
FreeFileSync is pretty good.
>>58827894
rsync + cron

Should of mentioned I'm running windows 7.

nextcloud running on a pi with full disk encryption and added user encryption
>>58828380
I don't need encryption it's just to backup all my chinese cartoons incase of drive failure.
>>58827894
If you run a linux serv and smb, you can rsync stuff on both of your computers.

I see this at bestbuy should I buy it?

>two 8tb drives
what do you have that requires so much?
>>58828458
two 8tb reds inside, thats the only reason to buy it. I bought it off amazon and shipped to australia because it was $400 cheaper then buying two 8tb reds over here.

buy an external drive mounter with one click mirroring just tap a button once a week and it'll mirror the entire drive
>>58828463
I have 7 terabytes of anime, 5tb of movies/tv and 7tb of other shit e.g lossless 1440p game recordings.

I just want to mirror a few folders not an entire drive.
>>58828525
why not the entire drive £30 and you just press one button

1. My drives are internal despite the OP image i just took the hdds out of the enclosure.
2. I don't care about every single file on my 8TB drive.
3. It's money i don't need to spend
4. It's going to be slow since it's not internal

Crack those badboys open
Stick it into a machine you want to run your NAS
FreeNAS
Or Debian with ZFS on Linux
Native compression/ Dedup
Differential snapshots
Transaction groups ~5 seconds
Async I/O
Checksums
Silent data corruption & self healing/ redundant file system
Running that with 3 WD 4TB greens firmware modified not to spin down after 8 seconds in a RAIDz1 right now.
>>58828308
Holy fucking shit
THIS!!
That little nigger has sated my autismal need to keep "creation date" on my media files.
I needed something that would check for duplicates, compare new and old dates on some files, and basically mirror folders on my portable hdd and mobile phone.
>>58827894
If windows just use storage spaces, compatible with any windows install now and for the foreseeable future. If Linux just software raid.

Good luck ever getting laid.

>Crack those badboys open
Which will void warranty
>Stick it into a machine you want to run your NAS
Which will consume 50+ watts at idle
>Native compression/ Dedup
Why do u need this on a home multimedia storage?
>Silent data corruption & self healing/ redundant file system
All this ZFS magic won't be a replacement for a backup.

The Windows OS literally allows mirroring of drives, have you tried that?
