Are any problems known - I am using the contribute option which does the following over the network so that the My Documents folder on one PC is backed up on another - linky
Contribute
New and updated files from the left folder are copied to the right folder.
Files renamed in the left folder are renamed in the right folder.
No files are deleted.
No files are copied from right to left.

I use it in "Synchronise" mode to sync my laptop and PC files; and "Echo" mode to backup (copy) files from my PC to an USB Iomega portable drive. Much quicker and easier than my old way of using rewritable DVDs.

Great gadget! Now to let my kids know about it so they can backup their Uni and School work more easily.

That should have the die-hard Xp addicts crowing if it isn't.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

Try:
Start, Control Panel, and then double-click Administrative Tools.
Computer Management.
Expand Services and Applications, click Services.
Right-click the Task Scheduler service, and then Properties.
General tab - ensure that the startup type is set to automatic, and service status is Started. If service is not running, click Start.
Log On tab, ensure that the local system account is selected, and that the Allow service to interact with desktop check box has a check mark.
Click OK, and then exit.
Regards,
Neil
PS Thanks for the info Oldjim, looks ideal for backing up photos.

This was something I have been intending to look for as soon as I found the time. Saved me a lot of bandwith checking out what was around
