A Simple Sync Solution Required

Thread needs solution

I am using Acronis True Image 2012 and I can’t find exactly the kind of backup I am looking for. Basically, I want to be able to synchronise folders in the way that Microsoft’s SyncToy does. I did find the synchronise functionality in the application, but it did not allow you to pick and choose what folders and files you wanted to synchronise.

I also tried the File Backup approach which did permit me to pick and choose folders and files using tick boxes (exactly what I was looking for). But it did not have a synchronisation feature. It used incremental backups. So, when I added one text file which was one kilobyte in size, the incremental backup was 29 Mb. This is not what I am looking for.
In a nutshell, I just want to click a button which will make my backup version the same as my PC version. No incremental or differential backup strategies (beyond my needs). Just one button. Two locations. Both same after button pushed.

Can Acronis do this?

Thanks

The sync function in True Image is limited in scope but does allow you to choose file/folders to sync. Synctoy is much more robust. Another option is SyncBack Free or SE versions, or you may want to consider using the Robocopy command line utility to do this work.
