I've got 2 external hard drives, and I want to do a backup of one to the other, but probably not everything.

What software do you use/recommend?

There are many ways to do this ... I've been using Super Flexible File Synchronizer for years.

Mac, PC or other?

For my Mac, I use SuperDuper. Works great and isn't too expensive.

For my Linux install, it's cron jobs coupled with builtin shell scripts.

For my Windows install, I don't backup. Never do anything worthwhile so it's really not a big deal to me to re-install windows.

Syncback!!!! It's free and great!

Copied this from //www.snapfiles.com

SyncBack is a flexible, and quite powerful backup and synchronization program that allows to to maintain backup copies of your files and folder, or to synchronize them, so that both locations always have a complete copy (e.g Laptop/PC). It offers different types of actions that let you choose how older and newer files are processed, which files should be excluded (by mask) and more. It offers standard file comparison based on the date and size, as well as optional MD5 checksum, which will detect even the slightest modifications to files. SyncBack also supports scheduled projects, FTP and zip compression of backups, as well as network login, simulation runs and more.
