I have a 160gb external hard drive that I intend to use for backing up music, movies, documents, etc. but doing it manually is a real pain. I'm looking for a piece of software that will let me specify certain directories to backup to the external.
For instance, I have a directory of photos that I take with my digital camera...ideally I could automatically check for changes (eg. new pictures) and backup any changes to the external. Hell, even if it required me to hit "go" it would still be better than having to manually transfer anything new.
I'm looking for this sort of "targeted" backup solution because I really don't need to backup an entire drive. Also, solutions on the cheap (read: free) would be great, if they even exist.
