Hello,
I have a 1gb Kingston USB drive that I picked up on sale somewhere for a meagre $9. Since then, a lot of documents, photographs, and other files have migrated onto it. This drive is attached to my keys and follows me everywhere, which allows me to get work done during downtime pretty much wherever I am.
Now, the obvious problem here is that the drive is someday either going to slip off the carabiner and get lost or get left in a pocket and put through the wash. This was never a big deal as most of the documents are just old school assignments or photos I was taking to the drug store to get printed, but since I've started working on my 60-page thesis this has been a growing concern.
My question is, does anyone know of any software or similar solution that will download the contents of my USB drive to my home hard drive whenever I plug the drive into my main PC? I basically want something that will 'synch' the drive to a folder on my home PC whenever I load up the drive, so that I will always have a second backup incase the thumb drive is lost or stolen.
Any help appreciated :arrgh!:
