Watching a folder with subfolders, and copying new files

Hello all,

New here and new to Hazel. I'm trying to set it up so that I can copy new media added to my media folder, that contains subfolders. Basically I want to have a mirror of my media folder and everything it contains always up to date and backed up to another drive.

The rule I have set (which is obviously not correct) looks like this:

If (all) of the following conditions are met:
-----
Any File
-----
Do the following to the matched file or folder
-----
Copy to folder Videos
Run rules on folder contents


If anyone can help me figure this out I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

If you want to mirror a folder, then you probably want to use the Sync action. There's a chapter in the manual on syncing folders that should help you here.
