Is there any easy way to automatically back up drives as well as mirror them?
There are so many choices when it comes to software for back up drives, but I need one that syncs, backs up files and mirrors a system drive. Any suggestions?

Hi There
I found that Secondcopy works realy well. It's easy to use and implement. Has features that prevent you from coppying files that havent changed and so forth. As for the mirror , you just run a standard RAID 1 configuration which mirrors 2 drives , normally your main data drive with a redundant drive giving you redundancy incase of failure. Secondcopy would be used to backup to a NASS drive or removable drive. Hope this helps.
The best software we have located for this is called Mirror Folder. We have used it with clients in workgroup environments to mirror folders from various PC's in the office to the "main" PC and then to an external drive for backup. Works like a charm and is inexpensive.
My company has been using SyncBackPro from 2BrightSparks to synchronize relatively large amounts of data (gigabytes a week) over our wide area network. Software has many features, including ability to copy locked/open files. Program is definitely worth checking out. Also, there is a 30 day trial version you can demo.
