Is there any app similar to rsync for Windows?
General Question
I want to create an exact copy of my Documents folder on my USB drive. Like if I add any file to the original location, it will copied to the USB drive. If I delete any file from the original location, it will also deleted from the USB drive. I know in Linux you can use Rsync to do this. Is there any app to do the same in Windows?

Wanted to say the same! Wonderfull program, no heavy tax on system. Using it daily to sync laptop data.
Do you want it automatic? Also, you could just use rsync on Windows too...
For myself I use robocopy using "/MIR" switch. (Built-in Windows command line tool.)
No not automatically. Because the USB drive will not always be connected to my computer.
And I can use rsync on Windows too? Could you please guide me, how?
And I'll also look into Robocopy.
I used syncthing for a while. Nice and simple. If you want something os-agnostic.
You have the built in: FILEHISTORY that works in a similar way..
Automatically and without no 3:d party softwares..
