O.k i have a large archive of images and at the moment i have them stored in 3 different places, and until now i have been doing it all by copying each file into each respective folder (3 times over for each archive). Is there a good reliable piece of software that can sync a folder with another? I use a programme called Transmit to ftp stuff via the internet, and it is the perfect syncing programme however it won't sync a local folder with another local folder only one on the web.

Some more info.... I use a Mac running OS X 10.4.8

Cheers for any info in advance!

You don't say if you want to do this in bulk or individually. If one at a time, I wonder if you can write a PS action to do the three saves?

If not, maybe a macro will do the job?

Sorry, should have said... I'd like it to do it in bulk, but i don't want to save it at the same time as i do in Photoshop, as i save from PS into one folder then i archive it after sending it out to it's relevant market place. I would like to archive it only once into one folder then when i run the software i'd like it to realise that the main archive has changed and update the other 2 archives accordingly.
I hope this makes sense.

Right, that knocks out my idea then. I don't know if this info is relevent or not, but when my now elderly computer was built, I wanted a zip drive (remember them?) to do my backups. The software that came with it had a setting to 'backup only files/folders that had been changed since the last back-up'. This would then retain the existing stuff that had not been updated, but would save the ones that had.

Would this be more what you need?

Yeah that sounds about right, I do remember zip drives, i used to have one to carry pics around. They were great you cold get a whole 100mb of data on one, and the old Macs G3's etc used to have a zip drive built in, which is a little better than your typical PC's 1.4Mb of floppy that was built in.

My one is 750mb. Seemed a lot at the time. Perhaps you could explore some backup software that might suit you. I bet there is some free/shareware out there that will do it.

I also use that, although the paid for version. It's pretty good although not without it's quirks. Seems to always recreate any folders I delete, not the files just empty folders. I have to delete on both source and destination, quickly to stop it.

Sorry, I've been away for the weekend.
Had a look at the programme Toonie, and like Steve said it looks perfect and exactly what i am after.....
But wait for it.......

It's for the PC and i'm on a Mac, does anyone know of a similar programme for the MAC.

Cheers for showing me what i need though Toonie!
