Automatic Sync to USB key?
Allright, I use a Circus Ponies Notebook for all my school work. I also happen to have a few USB flash sticks lying around. What I would like to do is set up a backup system that would sync an updated backup copy of the document automatically to the drive whenever I plug it in. Any solutions?

Re: Automatic Sync to USB key?
This may be too easy but Backup3 (part of the Dot Mac subscription) will do what you want.
Plug in the USB drive.
Make a custom back up plan
pick the files you want to back up
pick the USB drive as the destination
Set a schedule (everyday)
Set a time (when you will NOT be at the computer)
Next time you log on Back up will ask for the USB drive and back up your files.
It.could.work.
