How to backup your flash drive

[slingingshot15]

Hi is there a simple free way to backup your stuff on your flash drive instead of simply copying and pasting everything on an external drive?

SnycToy?

How difficult is it to open Windows Explorer, click on the flash drive, then click on one item in the right pane, then hit Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C, then open your external drive and pasting it into your folder of choice?

ok you make it sound real simple. I just thought u all had a better way of doing it eg. if you just wanted only new things that you added to be copied cause you have the other stuf already copied

First time it tells you the file already exists and asks if you want to replace, click "no to all".

Wow, can't you just drag and drop? and then cick 'no to all'?

Drag and drop works too - same thing as copy and paste. If I drag and drop, I drag with the RIGHT mouse button so I get a menu (copy, move, create shortcut) just so I make SURE the default action doesn't do what I do NOT want. I also prefer the keyboard shortcuts as described, because all it takes is one mouse slip to make quite a mess.
