I have a situation that I have to manually sync one disk to the other and keep the copy as fresh as possible. Any (possibly free) software for it?

OS: Windows XP x86

for specific folders or folders with subfolders, try Sync Toy – studiohack♦ Dec 31 '10 at 0:08

If you have WinXP Pro, you could keep the two disks in a RAID 1 array so they are automatically mirrored on a filesystem level.

Edit:

XXCLONE appears to be a simple filesystem cloner that doesn't need to work on a disk I/O level (like by booting a live CD). It seems to be free for whole-disk backups, but has the functionality for faster incremental backups if you pay for the Pro version.

DriveImage XML might be another option.

Unfortunately, you won't. XP doesn't have mirroring enabled :( I thought that it would be an option, and was greatly surprised that it isn't. – Daniel Mošmondor Dec 30 '10 at 23:28
Oh well, such is Microsoft. Maybe the software listed above will help? – NReilingh Dec 30 '10 at 23:43
I found the SyncTOY that is ok with me - it can even be scheduled via command line version. – Daniel Mošmondor Dec 31 '10 at 13:39
