Possible Duplicates:
Syncing Tool Between 2 Folders
Which is the best application to Sync two folders?

Is there a sync program for Windows (something better than rsync) where I can select directories and files that I want to sync to a target drive folder. I need to backup specific files and folders from my system and not have to copy everything at same time.

What features does rsync not have, or have poorly, that your hypothetical better product should have? – mfinni Jul 10 '10 at 5:16
i guess the real question is not "better than rsync", but "GUIer than rsync" – Javier Jul 10 '10 at 5:48

There have also been few GUI front-ends done for it over the years: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/… or technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/… – Gray Race Jul 10 '10 at 6:07
