as a test, I'll time running freefilesync for my calibre library, and synching to 2 backup locations: dropbox and to another external drive location. So, i launch the program - there is a a few seconds wait for the external drive to spin up then it counts up to ~28,000 items checked, and copies a few recent changes, all in ~30 secs. That's for a 2+ Gb calibre library which holds a mix of formats

Oooo, thanks cybmole, freefilesync looks excellent, I'll look into it. Previous sync software I tried was slow and performance intensive.
