Windows 10: Backup a folder automatically and incrementally

Hi,

I have a folder, for example:

C:\MASTER -> (A)

that I want to backup to:

D:\MASTER_BACKUP -> (B)

I want to do it manually or automatically when I want.

"C:\MASTER" must be always untouched by the software, but also the software but compare A and B folder to skip files and folder that are already on the destination (B).

I don't want a "SYNC" tool because I don't want NEVER that folder B give its files (even its updated files) to A, never and never.

I cannot use a "sync" software because I am afraid that I wrong something and I will compromise A but also many copy software are not useful for me... I need a software of backup that is free and updated but not a BIG and COMPLEX software because all I want is to backup a folder to another, smartly (otherwise I could use a software of copy or just the copy of W10).

Thanks!

:)

 

How to back up files to incremental back up in Windows 10

Hello, all you need is to find a reliable third-party backup tool as windows 10 doesn't have incremental backup function. Before do incremental backup, you should make full backup firstly. Then you can make incremental backup based on
the full backup. If you don’t want to do that by yourself, you can please use the schedule plan and the software can make backup as you set automatically. You can please check more detailed procedures from

here.

 

How do I backup to an external hard drive?

I highly recommend AOMEI Backupper Standard version, a free software that allows you to automatically

backup to external hard drive. With it, you can backup system, disk, partition, file and folders. Also, it has many features that Windows Backup and Restore does not have. For example: incremental and differential backup, restore to dissimilar hardware
(available in paid version only ).

 

Hello Pipppero, *Smile

If you like, you could set up Windows Backup to automatically backup that folder (and others if you like) incrementally to a location of your choice.

Another option, is to use File History to do the same.

I use SyncToy from Microsoft. It has 3 different modes and the Echo Mode is what I use.

When you run it on the bottom of the page is a Preview button and will open a page and lists every thing it will do. It has a check mark by each item so you can uncheck something you may want to skip.

It's from Microsoft (both of your solution) so i cannot be happier.

I will immediately check them.

Echo seem easier but i must see.

Thank you so much.

 

Synctoy met my taste and beat even more complex sw.

But while synctoy is excellent for a job to do fastly and non continuative, i need also another sw that do what "Synkron" does (Synkron is not updated and i found a bug on it):

- repetitive sync during the day
- multiple tasks of sync
- buckup of files updated
- totally respect and security for the "master" folder

something?
