GeneralJust found a very simple file backup tool Pin

Hi,

At the new place I am at installing new software takes a lot of time and a complicated procedure.
For file/directory backup I have been using FreeFileSync for the last couple of years. However that requires an install on Windows which I can't do without it costing a lot of time.

Fortunately I have found a free portable alternative ( link below ). It is a pretty old program ( last version dates back to 2007 ) and pretty basic but to simply copy the content of one or more directories to a backup directory on a USB drive it works just fine, even on a windows 10 machine. It is probably a good old win32 based application that despite its age just keeps on working.

There are even a few options you can set such as only to copy new/updated files etc...
Anyway, for me it does exactly what I need it to do, maybe someone else might like it as well.
