    it automatically syncs my itunes folder to my external HDD anytime new music is added to iTunes?

    Still a mac noob, I can't find anything that does the job.

    Why do you want to do this? For backup? If so just use Time Machine.

    Because I needed to reinstall OSX recently and I had lost a lot of music and photos between the time I made the backup I used and time I needed to reinstall OSX.

    I made an image backup. I was this wasn't a good idea in hindsight, but I liked the idea of all my apps and setting being the exact same when reinstalling OSX

    Use Time Machine then. It will backup every hour.

    It only takes a minute. But if it bothers you that much you can turn automatic backup off and initiate it manually.

    Takes longer than a minute for me. Every time I step away from it for five minutes, the thing churns along

    After going through a couple of pages of threads on macrumors, chronosync seems to be the best.
