What is the best software to keep my folders mirrored on another drive...

What is the best software to keep my folders mirrored on another drive? I just bought two 8tb drives and I don't want to put them in raid 1 due to incompatibility with other operating systems unless I buy a raid controller.

Don't use raid. Use software that that mirror drives and back up every week/month. i.e. Syncback on Windows.

Syncback is freeware is it worth using over alternatives like synctoy? I just want to be sure the software is good before I use it.

How do they work when torrenting will it constantly write while a file is being downloaded? Or can I just schedule it?

FreeFileSync is pretty good.

rsync + cron

Should of mentioned I'm running windows 7.

nextcloud running on a pi with full disk encryption and added user encryption

I don't need encryption it's just to backup all my chinese cartoons incase of drive failure.

If you run a linux serv and smb, you can rsync stuff on both of your computers.

I see this at bestbuy should I buy it?

>two 8tb drives

what do you have that requires so much?

two 8tb reds inside, thats the only reason to buy it. I bought it off amazon and shipped to australia because it was $400 cheaper then buying two 8tb reds over here.

buy an external drive mounter with one click mirroring just tap a button once a week and it'll mirror the entire drive

I have 7 terabytes of anime, 5tb of movies/tv and 7tb of other shit e.g lossless 1440p game recordings.

I just want to mirror a few folders not an entire drive.

why not the entire drive £30 and you just press one button

1. My drives are internal despite the OP image i just took the hdds out of the enclosure.
2. I don't care about every single file on my 8TB drive.
3. It's money i don't need to spend
4. It's going to be slow since it's not internal

Crack those badboys open
Stick it into a machine you want to run your NAS
FreeNAS
Or Debian with ZFS on Linux

Native compression/ Dedup
Differential snapshots
Transaction groups ~5 seconds
Async I/O
Checksums
Silent data corruption & self healing/ redundant file system

Running that with 3 WD 4TB greens firmware modified not to spin down after 8 seconds in a RAIDz1 right now.

Holy fucking shit

THIS!!

That little nigger has sated my autismal need to keep "creation date" on my media files.

I needed something that would check for duplicates, compare new and old dates on some files, and basically mirror folders on my portable hdd and mobile phone.

If windows just use storage spaces, compatible with any windows install now and for the foreseeable future. If Linux just software raid.

Good luck ever getting laid.

Rsync
>Crack those badboys open
Which will void warranty
>Stick it into a machine you want to run your NAS
Which will consume 50+ watts at idle
>Native compression/ Dedup
Why do u need this on a home multimedia storage?
>Silent data corruption & self healing/ redundant file system
All this ZFS magic won't be a replacement for a backup.

The Windows OS literally allows mirroring of drives, have you tried that?
