Balfron Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I just bought a portable hard drive. I want to automatically back up my My Documents (not including my music, pictures, videos) folder to it every time I plug it in/switch my laptop on. I can already do this by having a program (I use BestSync) run at startup on my laptop, but ideally I would only have the program running when the hard drive is plugged in, and when it is actually syncing. This will save me having a program running when it isn't needed. I think the best way to do this would be to autorun a sync program from the hard drive. How do I do that? What is the best program to use? Will the program shut itself down after it is syncing? I know you guys will come up with an answer to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmellow Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Do Briefcases sync to hard drives? I know they sync to other computers but maybe to other hard drives. (I have no idea how breifcases work but I know they sync:D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balfron Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Briefcases seem more suited to having a couple of documents on the go, rather than large amounts of files. It is a solution though - thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
