If you are looking for a simple background mirroring utility, here you go. It is hassle-free and makes a duplicate of any folder to any other folder. It is only one-way mirroring. I have set mine to a PowerPro scheduler to run everyday at 5:55pm so I always have an updated copy of my drive. It will work on large folders (your whole drive if you like) and, unlike the usual GUI mirroring progs, it takes up VERY LITTLE MEMORY! It has a file-folder filter, but it is confusing to figure out. But it works great. It is a console program, so there is little interface to deal with. Thanks, Mr. Dominik!

This works great! Nifty! Only problem I've found at this point is that it doesn't seem to like meta characters for directory names. I tried using the asterisk * meta character to identify directories ending in "data" (*data), but this didn't work, with the Mirror program returning "Error: source directory could not be found!". Oh well... this has great features and works great as far as I can tell!

I've been looking for a quick, simple and cheap (i.e. Free) tool to backup the contents of one drive to another and to keep that "backup" looking like the original and "Mirror" is it. If I update or delete files on my "live" drive I want those same files updated on deleted on the "backup" drive. Mirror is a command line utility. If you're comfortable using DOS or UNIX then you'll have no problems at all. If you need a mouse to control a computer this is NOT a tool for you. Interface: at the command prompt type mirror source dir/path target dir/path. Features: FAST! Ease of Use: A one line back file handles all my "backup" needs. Price/Value: Its Free. I wrote a little batch file that runs at start up to copy or delete any changed files from my "live" system to my backup drive.
