File/folder sync software for XP

Does anyone know of an app they can recommend that will let me sync my network home drive (about 4GB) and my common drive (about 60GB) onto my laptop?

I want to store them on my D drive of my laptop. It would be ideal if the software could let me access the drives as if they were on the net work i.e. H drive and K drive instead of having to use D drive for all my filepaths in my documents, however as long as I can replicate them on my D drive and there is some software that would sync the two systems up that would be great.

Cheers

 

MS has a Sync Powertoy that you can use.

I don't think it's network aware, so you'd have to mount your home as a network drive, but I've had good luck with NTI Shadow in a couple of situations. It has the option to schedule or real time syncing, for file type exclusion/inclusion, and for versioning. It's not rsync, but it does the trick.

Unfortunately, I don't think it lets you only initialize the sync manually, and I'm not sure how the real time syncing would react to source/destination unavailability.

Actually, rsync is available for Windows using cygwin, if you're up to it.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you're going for with the drive lettering. A virtual partition within an existing partition?

 

did you consider groove ?

 

SyncBack is a nice sync tool. The link is to the free version that I used to sync my laptop to my desktop and my flash drive to a folder on my desktop.

 

thanks for all advice, I'll try sync toy tonight. just have to take a copy of all the data first.

 

Ditto on this.
