    I have an external hard drive to which I backup my laptop's folders time after time. But the amount of data is quite big so it takes much time to copy all the folders every time. Can anyone recommend to me good synchronization program that will compare files on the laptop and external hard drive and then update only changed files? Just like the CVS does if you familiar with it. I've found few programs on the net but don't know which are good and which are not. Thanks in advance.

    I use Allway Sync and it works very well for syncing files on a laptop with those on an external drive (or any drive).
