Solve : Automatic backup?

Answer»

Heya there,
I am trying to find a software which can automatically back up user specified files when they are modified and save them in a specified space.In my case i have all my work in my windows pc,however its an old machine and its HDD's are going to die sooner or later.Thats why i bought a new drive where i want to have an extra copy of all of my files/pics.For example i want My documents file (along with EVERY file in it) which EXISTS on C:\ to be automatically written to D:\ and as soon as a file from this folder gets modified (Word work for example) to be written on the backup drive as well,which is more like a synced backup between those two drives.Also i have a 2,5" 80gb drive which i plug in once a month and do a backup,any chance to get this activity automatically?As said before my computer is kinda old so i am trying to find a program which isn't a complete resource hogger/bloatware!I have tried Secondy Copy which does an excellent work,however my pc is greatly delayed/freezes at random times.

Any help is greatly appreciated FOLKS!Thanks for your time  Acronis True Image: http://www.acronis.com/ - not free, but the best

Is D:\ a separate physical drive, or just a separate partition on the same physical drive as C:\?soybean
Its a separate physical drive,just in case C:/ goes bad.

Trying acronis atm,looks like a fine piece of software.Thanks mate! For those times in between BACKUPS i use and recommend SyncBack...Yes, SyncBack is an excellent synchronizer.
Another very good one is AllwaySync.
I've also heard good comments about File Hamster for making copies of files on the fly, but I'm not familiar with it. Anyone tried it?Running Acronis trial at the moment and it's my favourite so far.Rest of them are pretty nifty too.

Thanks a lot for your help guys,it really solved my hands! 

CheersBest of Luck to you and Welcome Aboard ! !
