Hi guys..
Right here is the problem - I have an mp3 "jukebox" on a 200gb drive which I play via a laptop connected to my hifi downstairs. I do have a backup of the mp3s on another drive on another pc, but it is out of date as I regularly add more tunez.

So I would like to copy JUST THE NEW files from my main jukebox drive to the backup every now and then. Problem is when I do a copy in windows i can select to overwrite the existing files as either "No" or "Yes" or "Yes To All"

What I need is a "No To All" option so it does not waste time overwriting the existing backups and only copies the new files.

How can I do that (Without manually saying NO to each existing file, or spending ages backing up the files i already have ?? There must surely be some useful backup util for this?

No to all option easy

hold down the Shift key as you click your first no and that should do it.

However if you move or copy folders as well as files, you still get at least one prompt for folders and another for files when duplicate names are found
