Selective RAID1

[thilanliyan]

Is there any way to make it so that a directory on my main OS drive is duplicated onto my storage drive? (ie.if a file is added to the directory on the OS drive, it is automatically added to the directory in the storage drive)

PS.I'm not sure if this is the right forum. I also posted this in software.

Not without 3rd party software.

Synctoy might work for that.

Thanks I'll give it a go.

I tried it but it only allows me to sync manually.

Is there any other software that allows you to do this automatically?

We've used ViceVersa Pro to synch directories across a VPN. If you wish, it will constantly search for changes and will automatically re-synch.

Do you just leave the program running in the background and it will synch the directories automatically? Or do you have to schedule a task?

If you're willing to schedule a task you can just use something like rsync.

why dont you just setup a raid1 between two partitions and only put that directory in there? then just mount it to where it used to be... doesnt seem too difficult

'Mirror Folder' from TechSoft will do what you want, either in realtime (all I/O reflects to both drives) or batched (copied the dir once, twice, etc per day)
