Synchronization failure

Thread needs solution

I have two EHD that I use to store My Pictures. Call them Drive A and Drive B. Drive A is my Primary Drive where I keep all of my images. I have recently copied all of the images using Explorer from the Drive A to Drive B.
Since them I have deleted and added files to Drive A. I now wish to synchronize these changes to Drive B I have tried to do this twice and each time the additional folders that have been added to Drive A have not copied over. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong.
Also I do not wish to just do a back up of Drive A to Drive B as I will periodically reverse the process and make Drive B my Primary Drive. In doing this I can ensure I have integrity of Folders and Files

I haven't actually used ATI's Sync feature, so someone else can comment on that.

You should assign a fixed drive letter to your external drive, high in the alphabet (e.g. V) to avoid its letter changing. That can help to avoid unintended results.

Do you need sync to be constant/continuous, or periodic? If the latter, you could do it using Robocopy with MIR (mirror) option. I use Robocopy to regularly mirror my media files to an external HD.
