  • Synchronize?

    From Robert Baer@robertbaer@localnet.com to alt.computer on Mon Oct 12 14:56:10 2020
    I would be nice if i could truly synchronize folder X (and all
    contents) with folder Y (and all contents).

    To me, this means the newest stuff in a given folder is used to
    update the other folder without regard to drive source/destination.

    Or has M$ bastardized the definition?
    And if so, what can one use?

    Thanks.

    Been looking at documentation online; way too complicated for me.

    Ideally, this means the newest stuff in a given folder is used to
    update the other folder without regard to drive source/destination.
    The over-write copying would be done on a dynamic basis, so that
    working program would "see" a file being updated and thus copy it tothe
    proper destination.
    Cheap and dirty way of backup from terror-byte drive source to
    terror-byte drive destination.
