Use MC to maintain a backup of my audio files

(1/2) > >>

neFAST:
Hi folks, the title is pretty self explanatory.
I have an external usb drive I plug one time a week and I would like to have my audio collection synced to that drive (in case my main hard drive crashes).
Is there a way to achieve this with MC?

MrC:
Probably not the best tool for the job.  Use one of the many (free) backup programs available.

DarkPenguin:
Syncback would be a good option for this.  Don't forget to backup your library and cover art.

neFAST:
the free version is good enough?

glynor:
I love Syncback SE.  That application is worth its weight in unobtanium.

However, MC could handle this task just fine itself - for music especially - via the Handheld system.  Simply create a Handheld that syncs to the folder location where you want your music backed up, set any necessary options, select either All Audio, or make a Smart Playlist that lists everything you want to back up and choose it, and then sync to the external disk or whatever you'll be using to store the backup.

More difficult to schedule, but if you intend to initiate the backup manually anyway, it could be an easy way to go.
