    I'm using a external hdd. I would like a to know if there's a software that can copy everything I do on my laptop to the external hdd.

    Example: if I open a Word file and modify it, when I close it, the software would have to copy that file to the same folder on the external hdd.

    Same with the files I create from scratch, copy them to the external hdd.

    Basically I would like a software that can do a (live, active) perfect mirror of the laptop hdd.

    Anyone know such a program?
