I was using helpful backup software that would copy files from my Laptop to NAS from 2 years. I was set it to copy only the changes on the source to Nas .
I cannot remember the software was called, and this is a big problem for me as I cannot find it anywhere. All of the backup alternatives that I have tried, create a backup file instead of just copying and this is another big problem.
So please any ideas?
Notice :I know I can do my own robocopy script and schedule it, but I quite like seeing a side by side comparison.

Oh, what is the use case? I have switched from gs richcopy360 to rclone + rclonebrowser. They are free to use doing the same upload of the changed data from a source to a target.

Dear LaMerk
So far, I am doing well with Gs richcopy 360 , now I use the Enterprise version in my company
good luck with clone + rclonebrowser.

Bit (a lot) off topic but how does robocopy compare to rsync these days now rsync is available for windows ?

who said that ? I think rsync is for Linux or similar only and there are some GUI alternative to it but works on windows only like the GS richcopy 360 which I use now .

Many versions of rsync for windows out there, not sure what source they come from as I wasn’t going to dive into git repositories and see but I would even say they come from forks years ago and more recent.

- As the experts said , Azcopy is the best choice for uploading to Azure blob storage , and for your info , Azcopy is CLI-based , very powerful , multithreaded , free and very fast to copy to the cloud .
- For Gs Richcopy 360 , it is a GUI-based , not free , the license is for once, can copy directly to the Azure blob , multithreaded , very fast and has an option to throttle cloud jobs so that they cannot consume more than what you allocate them to , this means your Datacenter will not affected with the consumed bandwidth , check this example
