Syncronized Saving

[Kirsdarke]

I have a 1 gig flash drive that basically has all of my very important files on it. All of my roms, emulators, a few apps and all of my documents are saved on it. The reason being that I move from pc to pc all the time and I want/need to take some files with me.

The thing about having it all on one thing is it's kinda scary. If my drive is lost or stolen, all of my hundreds of hours of work is down the tubes. But keeping up to date backups is hard too because files are constantly changing. It would suck if I had worked for two weeks on a new gamefaqs guide only to have it deleated and find my last backup two weeks out of date.

So my question is simply this: Is it possible in Windows XP to make it so when I save something, it automatically saves in multiple areas? That way I could save something to my flash drive and hd at the same time.

You can only save in one location at a time. Even with ROM file saves. But I suppose you could make a batch file that copies all of the files you want into another directory as soon as it is opened.

I do have some knowledge of ms-dos and batch files so maybe I could try it.Let's say you want all of the files you save to go on two directories. One, on your USB Flash drive, E:\. Two, on your hard disk, C:\, though saving files on the root directory of your hard disk is a bad idea. All you can do is save them first on your Flash drive (E:\). Then, make a batch file on E:, and program it to, when opened and executed, copy all of the files in the directory to C:.

COPY E: C:

Does that make sense? You could do that, though this was a lazy and bad example of which directories to pick.
