#MICROSOFT SYNCTOY FOR WINDOWS 7 WINDOWS 7#
I upgraded to windows 7 proffessional around 2 months ago so synctoy didnt back up 1 picture since then. SyncToy 2.1 is a free application that synchronizes files and folders between locations. SyncToy 2.1 Download - Windows 7 Good day When downloading, I have pressed Download, there is a brief cycle and the message appears 'Thank you for Downloading SyncToy 2. Just to let you know I do back up my pictures to 2 seperate dvd discs for extra security but if I didn't this could quite easily cost me a lot of pictures which would have been devastating.Īs everything worked wonderful on xp I didn't give it a second thought and trusted the software. I had to delete synctoy then format my external drive then copy and paste the whole internal drive across which took around 5-6 hours I think. I googled this and found out this relates to windows 7 and the security measures in place, something to do with admin control (sorry I'm not a computer buff) Synctoy copied the folder I created but not the pictures inside. I scrolled through the folders on both drives which looked exactly the same until I clicked the folders on the external drive which to my horror where empty :( I recently looked at my drives and saw my external drive had more space by about 100gb which confused me as both drives should be identical. SyncToy is described as free PowerToy designed by Microsoft, that provides an easy to use graphical user interface that can automatically synchronize local or network files and folders, but not WebDAV-, 'Windows Mobile' files or folders and no triangle-sync as only Allway Sync and is a very popular File Sync tool in the backup & sync category. I have 1x 1tb internal hard drive where I download all my pictures then tag and index them then I use synctoy to echo everything onto my 1tb external drive which worked fine on xp. I'm not sure if this is a common problem but it's something to watch out for.

Just wanted to warn anyone who uses microsoft synctoy and windows 7 as I have just discovered a problem whilst backing up my pikkies.
