Hi there,

I use the "Schedule downloads" function of my DNS-323 to backup (with incremental mode) various folders from Vista to volume_1. I use also it to backup from Volume_2  to Volume_1.

It works fine for DNS-->DNS, but for Vista-->DNS, the incremental backup does not work. Do you know if it should ? If not, which soft do you recommend to do this ?

Thanks

robocopy is a command line syncronisation tool already available in Vista and above. It can be used to sync/mirror directories in the same way that "rsync" can for Linux.
If you use it, you'll need to use the "/FFT" switch due to the different timestamps between NTFS and EXT2/3 file systems.

Thanks. I didn't know this tool. Is it really robust ? And how do you make it run recurring  ?

You would need to setup a schedule in Windows to run the script.
