O&O AutoBackup automatically synchronizes selected files and fol-
ders with an external backup device (USB Stick, external USB hard
disk, FireWire volume). As an example, you can use O&O Auto back-
up to create a backup copy of your photo folder onto a USB stick and
set it so that changes made to the original data are automatically
taken into account for the next backup.

Here‘s how O&O AutoBackup works
The copy process always begins automatically after you’ve connected a
hotplug capable disk to the computer. Using the status bar icon and sta-
tus window in the program, you can see when the process is completed
and remove the disk. *

not changed in the source. Only modified and new files/folders will be
copied onto the destination drive. As opposed to point 2.3, no data will
be deleted on the destination drive.

2.3 “Perform synchronization, i.e., apply all changes and file deletions.”
All files and folders in the source will be copied onto the external disk.
As opposed to point 2.2, files/folders that were deleted on the source
will also be deleted on the destination drive. Once the action is com-
pleted, the destination drive is essentially a mirror image of the source
data/folder(s).
