Workshop: Protect files with a clever file copier

Use Replicator to copy, back up and synchronise files, either interactively or at scheduled intervals

Windows Explorer is fine for copying a few files between folders but it would be impractical to use it to back up hundreds of files.

It hasn’t got the brains to compare two files and decide a file is not worth copying if an identical version exists in the destination folder. Instead, it asks whether a file should be overwritten, meaning the computer can’t be left to get on with copying tasks while you do something more productive.

This Workshop introduces Replicator, a free program that makes intelligent copies from disk to disk, computer to computer, or from computer to portable USB devices. Used properly, it can save you having to buy a dedicated backup program.

How to protect files with a clever file copier.
