If I really deute the “male” at RAID 1, you want 2 hard drives synchronised have. And after your gusto, All Hard disks have manual administration access.

This makes a synchronization software. Good and free would be FreeSync. This is synchronized in intervals, not in real time.

But if the setting up of a RAID 1 is already too complicated, it will not be easier with the synchronization software.

With

if that also works, your constellation has not yet done so.

Update: If you need to work with a backup program in principle.

Note: Your project is not a real secure backup or a high availability solution!

Do not save yourself, Syncthing “nears” when something is changed on a plate and then synchronizes it. But: See my update in my answer.

No, that’s not a stand function of Windows (xyz).

For this, you need a RAID system where all data are mirrored.

But this is always the case and not only with individual files.

What you want is a RAID, more exactly a RAID 1.

The best way is to set this up at BIOS level when your BIOS supports it. How exactly this depends on the respective motherboard.

Software RAIDs are also available. You can probably create it in the disk management by selecting “Add Mirror”.

What you’re doing is cumbersome. RAID 1 you configure once and then it happens automatically.

Okay. Then you essentially have the choice between a backup only certain files or the whole disk.

A backup program would probably be helpful for certain files. I personally manage with “Personal Backup”.
If it is very few files and only occasionally, you can also copy files manually.

If you want to secure the whole plate, you should clone it best. There are also certain software or devices for this.
The only thing you really have to pay attention to is that you make the cloning in the right direction, that is from the system to the backup and not otherwise.

Rather not, except it would go rough.

Would you rather have a backup? So, a security copy of your data that you manually carry out and that you store separately?

Or an incritical file system? Does not work on any operating system, but allows for example installed, to restore previous file versions.

This is called RAID 1

With RAID 1, this happens in the background. If a hard drive fails, your data is still available on the other hard drive. But you only see a “virtual” hard drive in the operating system.

You can install great programs and juggle with your data, I don’t do it. I want my data to stay with me, how do you want to know if your great program does not take data? I don’t know what you’re using for solutions. I am a friend to use native means that provides me with my operating system.

Well, but mostly, we have better solutions. And above all, already existing ones that you don’t have to fry.

Why? You can plan that it runs regularly in the background.

Thus, a powershell script is likely to be unsuitable for most applications.

If you delete the virtual hard drive the data is gone, but that’s clear and you shouldn’t do that.

But if you don’t want to do this with RAID 1, I’d write a Powershell script.
Google time, I found this on the quick:
