I'm just starting with FreeFileSync and some of the videos are a bit over my head, if anyone feels kind enough to give me a simple plan that would be great...
I would like to back up a few large folders from hard drive on a daily basis automatically if that's possible (or do I need an extra program? and if so, a simple way forward?)
What would be an ideal refinement for me would be auto-dated folders (weekly would do) just with any files that had changed. That way I could go back to a previous version if necessary, a bit like Mac Time Machine (I'm running Ventura on iMac). The alternative would be to use Time Machine for part of that though I don't really want all those back-ups of the whole computer, just a few large files (I'd prefer not to use Time Machine).
There was also something on the videos I wasn't quite sure about. The backups seemed to take quite a while and I haven't quite grasped the process of ensuring it just copies ones that have changed.
Many thanks!
