How to sync network drive with local folder in Windows 10

[engr_joni_ee]

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to update as backup all the contents of the local folder in Windows 10 and put in the folder in network drive ? This should happen every hour if there is any change in the local folder.

Hi,

I do it in a very old style .. works for decades now:
A simple batch (including XCOPY) that gets started every couple of hours by the windows scheduler.

Usually we have a server sytem doing this - more professionally.
But for my local things I´m playing around - it´s rather useful and simple.
You are free to overwrite existing files with new/modified fiels, but you may also generate a folder every run or every day, or every moth -as you like..

But besides my "minimalistc backup system" there should be many more advanced software - even free.

Just do an internet search.
