Well I have been using SyncBack and I am soooo happy about what It can do. I was hesitant to install and try since my digital images are priceless and I was concerned with something going wrong. I installed the program and it asked me if I wanted to backup or synchronize.

I chose synchronize, but when I opted to ignore files that only reside on the destination drive it gave me warning," It appears that you are looking to do a 1-way synchronization, if you would like to avoid problems and improve performance, then change your setup type to backup instead." Since I only modify, edit, etc.. on the internal drive it makes sense to use a backup instead of synchronizing because the external is just to keep a current copy of my images. I edited some pics today and created some new folders to be able to use the program and it worked great. Since I might move images around from folder to folder in the source drive, when I run the program it finds files that are only left on the destination drive. I was concerned that the destination drive will start having alot of duplicates but I like that I can change the settings to delete the files that only exist on the destination drive. I ran it once to delete these and immediately changed it back to ignore files that only exist on the destination drive. I will use this feature sparingly and carefully every once in a while to get rid of duplicates on the destination drive. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread.
