[QUOTE="rcronin, post: 565294, member: 24079"] [b]how to synchronize my HD to my external drives[/b] I'm looking to use something like SuperDuper to update my external back ups. I have to send my MB to Apple and they will wipe the HD. The problem I'm trying to figure out is this - A few months ago, my HD was replaced. Before that I backed up everything to two different external drives that I have. I copy and pasted my user folders and apps folder. I was told to only reinstall what I needed to avoid potentially putting something back on that could have caused a problem. So now this is what I have - I used letters to represent files: MB Harddrive - Folder "clients" with files H,I,J,K,L,M,N External drive - Folder "clients" with files A,B,C,D,E,F,G How do I add my new files from the HD to a folder with the same name on the external drive without replacing the whole folder and losing my other doc's? I really hope that makes sense b/c this is making me crazy. Right now I'm doing it one folder at a time and hand selecting what is new, then copy/paste on the external drive. Which is an extra pain b/c I have to do it twice ( I want to have 2 back ups) Thank you for reading all this! [/QUOTE]
