Folder Mirror

Folder Mirror is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you create a copy of folders (including subfolders) for taking some proactive measures in case of data loss scenarios.

The comfort of working with portable tools

The utility comes wrapped in a portable package which can be deployed on your system on the fly. You only need to run the executable file in order to open the program. Getting rid of it implies only the deletion of files that you have grabbed from the Internet.
It does not leave any entries in your Windows registry so it doesn’t get bloated with configuration data. Copying it on any USB flash drive is also possible. You may run it without administrative privileges.

How it works

Folder Mirror runs quietly in the background without disturbing your daily tasks or interrupting your workflow. While the copying process takes place, a progress bar reveals an estimation about how long the job might take.
The application also records logs that give you details about all copying actions and possible errors. In addition, you may check out a log history, which can be opened up with just one click directly from the main window.
You are given the freedom to pause or cancel the current task. In order to configure which folders you want to mirror, you need to manually open the ‘folderMirror.config’ file and define as many folders to copy as desired. Plus, the tool lets you define the directory where the log files are stored.

Bottom line

All things considered, Folder Mirror provides a straightforward software solution for helping you create a mirror of your files so you can quickly restore them in case something goes wrong. The manual configuration process, which can be carried out only via the CONFIG file, may prove to be problematic especially for rookies.
