Looking for a smart sync tool that exactly copies the structure of the source to that of the destination
- by ????????
I am a Windows 7 user and looking for a sync tool that exactly copies the structure of the source to that of the destination.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a laptop in which I save my daily projects. I always bring this laptop wherever I go to work, either at my school or at my house.
At school I have a room in which I put an external hard drive to backup my laptop data. Upon arriving at school I always sync the external data with my laptop. Before leaving the school, I also do the synchronization if I make some modification in my laptop data.
I do the same thing when I arrive and leave my house.
Every month I reformat my laptop because of some trial softwares.
I am using SyncToy 2.1 to sync the external drives with my laptop. The problem is as follows.
Before formatting my laptop, I sync all external drives with my laptop. For example,
My laptop structure:
c:\data\file1.ext
c:\data\folder1\file2.ext
Both external drive structure:
d:\data\file1.ext
d:\data\folder1\file2.ext
After reformatting my laptop, I move the file1.ext to folder1. So my laptop structure becomes,
c:\data\folder1\file1.ext
c:\data\folder1\file2.ext
If I sync external drives with my laptop, I get
d:\data\file1.ext
d:\data\folder1\file1.ext
d:\data\folder1\file2.ext
I want the tool also remove d:\data\file1.ext. How to do this?
