Is there a Sync utility that will run realtime?

Am using SynToy 2.1 and have read over Allway Sync, and need something that will detect changes to a document and sync automatically to a USB external drive, immediately, almost realtime. SyncToy doesn't do that.

hi

use this program:

http://download.cnet.com/Second-Backup-Free-Edition/3000-2242_4-10405044.html?tag=mncol;6

it will do what you looking for and much more

I got this reply from someone that was analyzing several sync programs -- What do you think??



I would suggest looking at either Yadis! Backup http://www.codessentials.com/products/yadisbackup.html

or AutoVer http://beanland.net.au/autover/


Both of them will monitor a folder or a file for changes, and make a backup as soon as any changes are detected. They can also creat versions of the files so that you can go back to older versions of a file.

I have been testing Yadis! Backup http://www.codessentials.com/products/yadisbackup.html and it is exactly what I was looking for. I change a file and save, and a minute later, it's been changed on the backup drive. Excellent - easy interface also.

I also tested out Genie Timeline - Free Edition http://www.genie9.com/free_products/free_timeline.aspx and it works great too.
