This powerful little gem from Techsoft not only mirrors multiple
folders to multiple locations, it can also synchronize them.
MirrorFolder lacks true revisioning (keeping multiple copies of
files), however, there is an option to archive files that are about
to be overwritten to a zip file.
After you set the source and target locations there are literally
dozens of options including whether the target is a mirror or
synched folder, when operations should be performed (real time or
scheduled), who can do them, how overwrites are handled, how long
logs are kept, etc. The large array of settings can lead to a bit
of sensory overload, till you get up to speed. Fortunately, the
program is for the most part logically laid out, and tool tips pop
up over every option with a concise explanation of what it is or
does.
IBM's simpler-to-configure Tivoli CDP is only a couple of bucks
more and probably a better fit for the average user. But
MirrorFolder's extreme configurability and advanced options such as
copying folder user permissions make it a must-have for anyone who
wants to do complex real time backup.
