Microsoft SyncToy v2.0

I needed something simple to backup some files at work to an external drive.  At first, I thought about writing a simple script to do it.  Then I saw a short article about SyncToy from an old issue of Windows IT Pro magazine so I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did!

SyncToy v2.0 is a free software from Microsoft that lets you “copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers quickly and easily.”  You can also schedule it to run using the Windows Task Scheduler.

I’ve only been using it for a few days and so far it’s working great!

You can download it directly from Microsoft’s website: SyncToy v2.0
