sync two folders
Hello.I would ask you if i can sync two folders.One is in my C drive and the other in my external usb stick.
Thank you very much.Two more questions please.
1)Acronis has any software for this job?
2)I am a teacher of mathematics.I have many docs and pdf files.I want to create a backup like this:
When i change/modify a doc ,also modify/change the first backup.Without creating many backups and deleting the older e.t.cWhich method is preferable?Sorry for my abd english.

1. No - Acronis sync works between 2 different computers, not 2 folders on the same computer.
2. That sounds very much like the capability of the Windows 10 File History feature. The alternative would be to use other third-party synchronisation application with this capability and which also would allow versioning.
I have a Synology NAS device where I can use the Synology Drive sync software to do something very similar to your requirements, including keeping multiple versions of changed files.
One option would be to use a Cloud service like OneDrive but I am not sure about whether than allows to keep multiple versions of changed files unless this is a feature of the Business version of the application?
Sorry you don't understand me.The second question was for creating backup with acronis trye image.I want to do this :I want to create a first full backup.After, when i change a doc (like add a page,or change something in the document) i want to create a new full backup which inlcude all changes.The same folders/files/docs with new changes.Which method is appropiate with acronis true image/
Vasilis, ok, there are several different backup schemes that can be used with ATI 2017-2020 to do what you are asking.
For backing up your set of folders with their files / documents etc, then you should choose to create a Files & Folders backup task, after which you can choose any of the following backup schemes:
Full backups only - where all the contents of your source data are included everytime.
Incremental backups - where you create an initial Full backup then make a number of Incremental backups before creating a further new Full backup and repeating the cycle.
An Incremental backup captures only the changes found since the previous backup was made.
Differential backups - where you create an initial Full backup then make a number of Differential backups before creating a further new Full backup and repeating the cycle.
A Differential backup captures all the changes found since the initial Full backup of that chain.
So if i have a doc with two pages.And for example create a third page:
1)with incremental create a initial backup which inlude the''new'' page?
2)with differental create a backup with all pages?The two first and with the new one?
Also i will try to connect with official support.I don't receive any responce....Why?Because my product is ''old''?
Vasilis, when you create any backup you will capture the data in the state it is at that specific point in time, so if your document has 2 or 3 pages, that will be captured in the backup.
Each time you create a further backup, a new snapshot of your data is captured with any new changes you have made.
So incremendal backup works like full backup?Or after creating an incremendal backup create automatically or i would create manually a full backup?
Please see the ATI 2017 User Guide: Full, incremental and differential backups which has a full description of how these backup methods work with examples.
