Hi, if you want to spend some money, there is software around that backups and syncs folders like: http://qdea.com/pages/pages-sync/sync2.html http://qdea.com/pages/pages-sprox/sprox1.html the second makes even bootable backups of your disk. I use this for exactly that purpose, I keep my complete music library on an external disk and some stuff on my laptop.
