How to Backup and Sync Hard Drives on Mac

You can easily Backup and Sync Hard Drives on Mac automatically with a software that's been around for a decade.

Chronosync allows you to set two hard drives to be an identical backup of each other and you'll never risk losing your files again.

A great feature of this software is scheduling your backup between hard drives. This allows you to back them up when you are not using the computer and you can set this up as a daily task for the program.

Using your link, I bought this app. This is the best backup App I've seen in 20+ years of computing. NICE!!!! THANK YOU!

Very nice walkthrough. I ended up setting up the trial and the software is amazingly easy and simple to use. I've got an external HD backing up the files on it to my networked Synology. Very cool thanks for the video!

lke many have already said, this video was super helpful! Thanks for sharing this program because it's exactly what I needed and I don't think I would've discovered it had it not been for your video!

Thank you so much. I wish I would have known about this years ago! I just lost so many pictures/videos because I didn't know a quick easy way to backup my hard drives :( That will never happen again!

You’re a life saver! For years, I was using the drag and drop method and always had issues with large files.

Not only does ChronoSync work really well, it even copied the problem files that would normally grind everything to a halt... now, to look through the rest of your videos. Thanks again!

I have 2 4tb wd external hd's and an 8tb powered external hd. Can I backup both of my 4tb hd's to the one 8tb hd? Will they both show up separately and not lump together? thanks

Thanks a lot for this! Great video. I have been trying to find an easy solution for this problem for a while and your video is by far the most helpful I have come across.

Great video but need clarification on one thing - bidirectional backup. If my main working file is on the left side, shouldn't my backup be left to right? I definitely don't want anything changing on the left main working file since it contains my Lightroom Photos and Lightroom catalog backups. If anything changes on the left side outside of Lightroom, question marks will pop up because Lightroom won't be able to link pictures to the catalog.

Does the transfer of files happen in "real time"? I lost a drive and trying to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I meant I dont want the app to only recognize the 1 computer i sync from and will the drives and the data be clearly separate

[hybrydsanity]

can you sync multiple multiple computers on on to one drive in my case 2 or 3, I don't want the app to only recognize the original computer.

Thank you! Great video. I just purchased and mentioned to Econ Tech your video sold me!

[MedardoSuarez]

can you sync your Mac hard drive to an external hard drive with this software?

[LivingwithXXY]

Thank you, this lead me to the right place!

[YetundeShorters]

This was very useful. Thank you. I just bought, installed and backing up now!

Hi! I am a DJ and want to mirror my hard drive with another hard drive so my music files in my iTunes play automatically. Will this program work for mirroring 2 hard drives?

[AmitTiwarianni]

can I sync specific foldder (containing many sub folders) in two separate capacity hard drive e.g. 5 TB and 8 TB and folder size is approximately 2 TB

Can I backup to multiple external hard drives to one external drive? I have on ssd with photo and videos from a specific years and another one for the most recent. Would I be able to creat 2 different backup in onto 1 external drive? Would you even recommend it?
