Backup to NAS

    Is there a program out there for a PC that will backup a folder to a NAS drive.

    Its for a photo folder which is about 50GB in size

    I'm looking for 2 things with this:
    1) Incremental Backup - I don't want the process to take ages
    2) Looking for all the files to be on the NAS (ie I'm not looking for some compressed file) - I want these backup files to be actually used... IE if they are on a folder on the NAS I can host them automatically

    Any help is appreciated.

    Regards, Rory

    If you have Windows 7, that has an automatic backup tool that's really very very good.
    Apart from that, I don't know of any backup tools.

    unfortunately its Vista. I think the default backup doesn't create the files but moulds them all into one.

    Thanks anyway snappieT

    I'm going to try command line robocopy:
    Robocopy “C:\Users\Sniipe” “J:\TheBackup” /MIR /XA:SH /XD AppData /XJD /R:5 /W:15 /V /NP /LOG:Backup.log

    Add this to a batch file and see how it goes.

    also sync toy looks ok... I'll try that first
