The Directory Compare Portable tool was developed to help you keep copies of your important directories.
You can keep a backup of your data on hard disks or any other storage system (like 100Mb diskettes), as well as in a compressed .zip file. The backup may be made automatically (in unattended mode) or by using a friendly user interface.
Directory Compare is a kind or GUI version of cpy: it has far less options but its visual interface makes easier selctive copies. For instance, modern compilers generate an incredible amount of auxiliary data, which speeds up compilation, but takes a lot of storage space. (For instance, the source files of Directory Compare are less than 100 Kb, but the auxiliary files generated by the compiler occupy 7,500 Kb!)
