MirrorFolder

Data loss accidents could happen at any time. Your hardware could fail, your system could get infected with malware, or you could accidentally delete something you need. As long as you have backups, you don’t have to worry about data loss incidents too much. MirrorFolder is a user friendly application that can back up your important files; it can back up important folders and even entire drives.

To get started with MirrorFolder you must download a 2.9MB executable from the web (it’s a lightweight download that will complete rapidly) and you must run said executable. Once you do so, a setup wizard will guide you through the process of installing MirrorFolder. You will be asked to choose a language (there are several other languages apart from English), to choose if you want a desktop shortcut and if you want one for the current user or all users. Before completing the installation process, the setup wizard will create a system restore point. After completing the installation process, the setup wizard will ask you to restart your computer.

When your system restarts, you will notice a MirrorFolder icon in the system tray. The icon provides easy access to the MirrorFolder user interface and to MirrorFolder’s sync capabilities. You see, you can specify a folder (or a drive) and the application will mirror it. This means that it will back up the information from that folder to the location you specify. It also means that it will keep the contents of the folder in sync with the backup. The mirroring is done silently, in the background.

With the help of MirrorFolder you can back up your important data and thus make sure that you’re covered should a data loss accident occur. And if you switch from a desktop to a laptop computer, with MirrorFolder’s help you can keep folders in sync.
