[QUOTE="mingteck, post: 1485408, member: 254115"] I use TimeMachine to back up my iMac (running OSX 10.6.8). But I also want to back up to an external harddrive which I carry around and use when I am away from my desktop. Which software (free) is best for this? I've tried simply copying the master folder but it invariably gets into trouble and hangs (the error message is something like "___ (folder) cannot be copied because it already exists", but I think it is because the path length is too long). I've even used a software called SyncTwoFolders but it got into the same problem (I think). I'm now copying the folders one by one, a laborious process but it seems to get the job done. Is there some software out there that will do the job properly for me? Ideally, the backup drive will be easily accessible from other computers (including PC) and I can re-sync the two folders when I get back to the office. Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
