Seagate Automatic Sync and Backups

[blansky]

Presently I have 4 external hard drives that I use for backing up my files, the more recent of which, can change daily as I work on them.

A couple of years ago I had Maxtor Automatic sync and backups and I found as I was checking some files that they weren't backing everything up. So I dumped the software and since then I've just manually backed up my files, daily, weekly and monthly.

Yesterday I bought another Seagate 1TB and it comes with the automatic software and I was wondering if people trust it to backup the files or if I should just continue doing it manually.

For PC try "Mirror Folder," for Mac try "Carbon Copy Cloner" or "Super Duper."  All work very well for their stated purposes.

Great recommendation Jack as usual. I am using it as I write this. Thanks.
