Tópico: SyncToy Backup
SyncToy is a free Microsoft utility I have used for many years.

It will synchronize files and folders between two locations.

It works great to keep a safe copy of VDJ on a separate drive of your choice.

Although discontinued, it still gets the job done.

Sync Options:

Echo: New/updated files from left folder are copied to the right.

Contribute: Like Echo, but no files are deleted on the target.

Synchronize: Changes (additions, renames, deletions) in either folder are copied to the other.

Very easy and free method of keeping your files and database safe......

Maybe someone will find it useful.

I use an older version of Allway sync (they went to a subscription in the current version). I did not know that Sync Toy even still worked in Windows 11. That's awesome to know. I keep 4 separate backups of my music these days for safety. Awesome suggestion! Now if we can get people to backup their VirtualDJ folder as well...
 
I use Synchredible and it's free. Has worked perfectly for many years.

VDJ also has built in backup and restore.
 
There's also FreeFileSync (open source and free), and if ur a scripter, and comfortable with built-in tools, you might get away with using robocopy.
 
Hi, im using also Freefilesync for all my backup stuff, easy and fully configurable.
Cheers
