A simple replication is essentially an up to date copy of the source target. So, at execution, any changes in the source folders (file or folder deletions, replacements, or additions) are replicated in the destination folders.

I had one of my SageTV video drives fail, this spring. I pointed SageTV at the replication drive and operation continued as before. After installing a replacement for the failed drive, i then directed Karen's Replicator to use it as the destination and a new replication was generated as I slept that night.

That said, Karen made the tool very flexible. While not fully universally flexible for all imagined cases, she provided utility for the vast majority of my file & folder copy operations. Jobs can be setup for manual execution or for scheduled and repetitive operations. The GUI dashboard and setting forms are thoughtful and natural.

Ok that more or less answers my other questions it is not a backup tool more or less a copy tool... Backup tool to me is a tool that creates different backups so in case of a failure I could go back to to a prior day backup and restore from there. If you are constantly updating to the same folder newly updated files and overwriting you can easily overwrite a good sagetv DB with a corrupted one.
