In search of a simple/easy tool to sync specific folders to my external 2.5" drive for offsite storage, I settled on "File Synchronization" (I have another drive that Time Machine uses).
(http://nemesys.dyndns.org/FileSynchronization_EN.html)
It's a simple program that easily does what I want - 1 way synchronization of selected folders when I tell it to. And the price is great at $15.
However - I wouldn't mind if my "Documents" folder was encrypted on this external drive just in case it falls into the wrong hands. Pictures/Music/Video don't matter.
I'm just wondering what would be the easiest / most pain free way to accomplish this? It would be great if the sync program could just do this for selected folders. Of course I could do it after each sync to the specific folder on the external drive, but that sounds like a drag.
Any ideas?
BTW - I was toying with going with an online service, like Crashplan - but in the end I like having the files on easily reachable media - I'll just take the 2.5" external to work and bring it home every couple weeks for a sync - or maybe I just wanted to buy another 1TB drive?
