SyncToy 2.0
Microsoft has just released SyncToy version 2.0.
I talk about SyncToy a lot in Windows Home Server For Dummies. Ends up that it’s the ideal way to sync TV shows between the Media Center machine that records them and your Windows Home Server.
SyncToy, a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows, is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without additional complexity. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another case. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.
If you have similar or duplicated files scattered all over Hell’s Half Acre, SyncToy can be a lifesaver. It’s a great program.
