Open Task Scheduler Click on Create task.
You have the opportunity to specify the the names of the folders, how you want them synchronized (Synchronize, Echo, or Contribute), and the name of your job. SyncToy immediately presents you with a Wizard that walks you through the process. You create a new folder pair by clicking the Create New Folder Pair button in the bottom center of the screen. (See Figure 1.)įrom here you can see all of the folder pairs that are being kept in sync and you're also given the option of creating a new folder pair. The interface for SyncToy is quite simple.
