There are two programs available that will do what you want, I have and use both on a daily basis. Both programs do more than you are asking for and may be more costly than you'd expect. One is Laplink and the other is PCAnywhere, both have file transfer and will both clone and update changes. Laplink calls this feature SpeedSync and PCAnywhere calls it SpeedSend. In my opinion Laplink does the best job of file transfers while PCAnywhere does the best job of remote control, that's why I use both, one for file transfers and updating my backups and the other for remote control.....shop to shop and home to shops etc. You can find both web sited simply by entering the program name in Google search.I use them with Windows 2000, and 98 and have used them with 95, 3.1 and dos in the past.

Backing up incrementally (only back up the changes) to another partition on my hard drive. I know this subject came up recently, but not discussing this file system. I have done a lot of searching for a backup program (including Incremental Backing up) which will definitely work with NTFS. As some of you know this is not at all the same as the usual Fat 32 system used in Windows 98 & ME. There are very few popular backup applications that will clone your entire hard drive and incrementally back it up if you installed Windows 2000 (or NT, XP) using NTFS (New Technology File System). And as some of you said before this is the ultimate way to restore EVERYTHING if you have a major software crash or virus attack.
