Two way SYNC

Hello all
O.K. so I manage my data with two external 500G Hard drives. Each hard drive spinning the same data. Its a great way to keep your data fail safe and away from your OS. My thing is one drive says its useing 103G of space and the other is useing 85.4G. But both drives have the same thing. Im thinking I mixed myself up one day and was adding data to the same drive thinking I had both drives open ( if that makes since to anyone ) Im doing it all manualy. Is there a program that will do a two way SYNC on the drives and mach everthing up. Kinda like a blackberry SYNCs up. It would need to be the best of whatever it is , My data is my living , can take no chances here......



Thanks

The program was not very clear as to what it was doing. I got a little worryed when it was scaning both my drives. Once scanned it didnt show me the tree like I wanted and didnt compare my data. (0) well I guess Ill need to open every file one day and mach it up myself. Thanks for the input guys : )

I also recommend SyncBack. It works great. I use it to keep the documents on my desktop and laptop in sync. There are literally dozens of options you can set.
