Software to sync folders on PC and USB thumb drive

Hi

I carry a USB drive that contains the data I use for work, when I get to work
I plug in the USB and work from the folders on it then When I get home I copy
the contents to my PC as a backup.

Is there software available that will sync the contents of the USB drive
to my PC on demand?

Copy and paste does not work well because data I have deleted from the USB
remain on the PC and I need the two to be identical, and deleting the data
on my PC then copying it over takes too long.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

Very simple it's built into Windows robocopy run from cmd line you simply mirror option you can download a free GUI if you want and you can use the cmd in a script if you want. Basically it's robocopy d:\work c:\work /mirror it was built for servers and very fast

I had good luck using GoodSync File Sync Backup Software | GoodSync

Thanks but even with the GUI it is a seriously complex process and I do not have the time to work
it all out.

Thanks for you input.
