Sync program for new or modified files

Hi, In the last couple of days I have come across a reference to a free program for ensuring new or modified files are backed up to another location. It may have been from Microsoft but I cannot find it on their site. It doesn't help that not only can I not remember its name but I cannot remember which thread or site I read it on. Does this ring bells for anyone? It isn't Syncback which I have used and it definitely referred to its being for "new and/or modified files"

Being a UNIX/Linux guy that would be rsync to me You probably came across Unison which is a front end to rsync. Unison can work with Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. There are downloads for each here: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

Thanks Donoreo, I will take a look at your suggestions. However I did pick up the latest edition of PhotoPlus which arrived yesterday and looking through it again realised it was in there I had seen it .
In the sidebar on p75 under "Incremental Back-up" Peter Travers had given details for a free download called FILE SYNC at http://filesync.moleskinsoft.com which apparently " automatically analyses folders and copies only new and modified files. It works effectively with large numbers of files within multiple nested folders,making subsequent incremental back-ups much quicker and easier to carry out"
Now where did I put that magazine?
