Can Hazel do the job? Immediate copy to external HD + sync!

Hi guys,

I'm an photographer, and i'm getting more and more important clients! So, the things i shoot, I can and may not loose!

So, I bought this external hard drive, and my plan was:
When I'm on assignment, I shoot tethered thrue the computer. The files are then stored in "x" subfolders.
What I want, is that every time a new image is getting added to that folder, on my mac hard drive, it's instantly copied to the external hard drive - some kind of raid 1 behaviour!
And, I also need it to sync, so when I delete a file on my mac, it actually also deletes it on the external drive!
Is that by any chance possible?

Thanks in advance

You can do the copy part but not the delete. While I'm looking into possibly adding this type of functionality, you may want to look into dedicated sync software for this type of thing.

If you're still looking for a solution then the latest version of Synk Pro will do an immediate copy/sync, and if you set it up as a mirror sync then it will also mirror any files you delete.
