Utility: The Simplest way to Backup / Synchronize Files & Folders

Imagine this scenario: I wanted to backup your photos folder which is 50GB in size, so I copied the whole folder to my external harddisk. Two months later, due to new photos being added, the folder is now 51GB and I wanted to do a backup again.
What did I normally do? Yes, I copied the whole 51GB folder to my external harddisk, went for a coffee break, come back and delete the old 50GB folder!
Troublesome? Here's a freeware for you.
FreeFileSync helps you to compare two folders and synchronizes them automatically. In the scenario above, it will check for the difference between my 50GB and 51GB folder, and synchronizes them automatically by just copying the new photos over!
