Im looking for some software to sync 2 folders on a computer, basically an instant back up, a bit like RAID, but only for a folder.

Its possibly staring me in the face, but hey ho...

What I need to do is for a local club, this machine is only used once or twice a week for admin stuff, so a scheduled backup is no good.

I have a flash drive that I want to leave permanently connected, and want to sync this to the my documents. preferably on an addition, but a normal sync will be fine.

I am trying to do this, as the HDD failed last week, and I have spent the last 2 evenings recovering what I can, as it turns out there was no backup.

Lucily I have recovered most, if not all that was lost, and I want to preven this happening again.

In addition to this, I am going to go in once a month, and create a protected zip that I will store off the premises.
 
I use Goodsync

I used to use the free microsoft powertoy SyncToy for XP, but it does not work on win7

Also what about the on-line Windows Live Sync or Live Mesh (whatever it is called nowadays) which will keep several computers in sync with files, and can be used for backup purposes
