FolderClone File Mirroring Utility: Automatically Copy from One Computer Disk Drive to Another

This really does work as advertised. They also have extensive discussions in the help file on different ways of copying files and the advantages and disadvantages of each (for example, using the Windows CopyFileEx() function vs using assembly language to blast the bits). I am a software engineer and I sense that the authors of this program really know what they are talking about. This is a good program to use when all you want to do is to synchronize two different storage locations or to back up your data. Most other programs we have tried tries to back up your entire computer's hard drive including installed programs and OS but many times all you want to do is just back up your data so the other programs don't really do what you want. This program does.This program also works remotely over a VPN. This allows you to run this program to do offsite backups of a network server.

I purchased this great software with my W D Passport 1T solid state compact external hard drive. I've no worries now because I set it to take a picture of my PC hard drive at various times so I am reasonably sure it is not being infected when I am attacked by malware or out and out east block viruses. My anti-virus also works on this device. Since I've had this, it has backed up flawlessly, updated flawlessly, and has no viruses to date. I think Folder Clone is far and away a better product, by far, than either Ghost, or Disk Restore. Mostly, I am busy. What I really love about Folder Clone is that it is automatic.

Folder Match is a software from the same company and I have been using it for years. Folder Clone is more of an automated software that should update your backup at set times. I find it confusing. Folder Match has simple graphics that protect you from doing something stupid and destroying important files. I thought Folder Clone would be an upgrade, but I am now back to using Folder Match and still think it's the best software on my computer. Check out Folder Match before you decide.

A good utility for what it is advertised to do. It is a very useful tool for disc copying. However, it only does what Acronis, True Image 2014 does and Acronis is much more versatile up to and including full, automated disc cloning. You might consider saving your money and getting Acronis.

I wanted a program that would make a copy of a second hard drive in my system that has all of my important data. I wanted this backup copy to look just like the original hard drive so if I needed to copy something back, I know right where to find it. This software dose the trick. The only warning I can give is format the destination hard drive be for you start. Once you set up the system the way you want, It dose everything in the background.

Works great for a simple, zero-maintenance backup program that will work over a network via a router (used as a workaround because my Windows 7 will only permit local backups - arg!)

Good product, easy install and setup, works great. Wish it would synch between two folders on two drives so a change on either would go to the other.. but one has to be source and one target.. which is fine for media backup and even sharing on a home network.

If you try to back up your computer and do not set the program up correctly as I did the program will delete everything your try to back up to another device. Instructions is worded very bad.
