Kindly refer me to a software that acts like a backup, sync and file tracker.

Backup: I'd like to dedicate an external drive or two for backups. Need a software that can backup my files to the external drives.

Sync: Like the backup function, I'd like to sync both of the external drive to which ever drive or folder I have.

File Tracker: Like most backup software, it can't know if you have copied to move the file to the other folder or even deleted it. Looking for a software that will track and copy or move file accordingly to folders in my external drives to "mirror" what I have done in my source folder/drive.


Basically, I'd like one software that will backup and sync my files to an external drive. But then, the same software will keep track of file movement within my source folder/drive and mirror the same to my external drives.

Need examples?: Source folder contains pictures. Sub folders are A, and B. Folder A contains sub folders with dates. Folder B contains just files for sorting. I backup Folder Pictures. One month down the road, I begin sorting the pictures and moving them to folder A. Since that is the scenario, with my current backup software, the software is not aware of the "moving" of the files from B to A. I now end up with duplicates. Looking for a software that is smart enough that, it keeps track of the movement of the file and will create folder as necessary. Kinda confusing??? sorry, can't really explain it more clearly. Thank for your help.
