I'm going to start using an external HDD to back up my music and trailers.  Can anyone tell my the best way to keep 2 or more folders on the external drive in sync with 2 or more folders on the PC?  Ideally something I could setup then every couple of weeks just plug the drive in and have it done in a couple of clicks.

TIA!

SyncToy 2.0 works well for that kind of tasks.

I am using Beyond Compare for syncing my DVD Profiler Database with my USB stick, my local Apache webserver and my remote website server.

I also use it to backup my own software projects.

SyncToy is an usable piece of software. I use it myself for quite some while now. It does what it says it does and it's also free to use.

You could also try Karen's Replicator - been using that myself for a few years now...
