ICE Mirror

When it comes to reliably creating or maintaining an exact duplicate of the original directory, ICE Mirror stands out with its latest version, 2.0. This nifty tool, developed by ICE Graphics, belongs to the "System Utilities" category and fits snugly under the "File Managers" subcategory. Available for download as the ICEMirror.exe file, this program supports a wide range of Windows operating systems, from Windows XP/7/8/10 to the latest, Windows 11.

ICE Mirror excels in providing ultra-fast mirroring because it performs incremental updates, a feature that ensures only the changed files are copied. This efficiency makes the process lightning fast, especially when only a few files have been updated. For users who deal with read-only media like CD-R and DVD-R, the program's ability to perform differential updates is a significant advantage.

The two-step differential update process involves first comparing the master directory with the mirrored directory and then copying all new files from the master directory to the mirrored directory. This approach ensures that only the modified or new files are transferred, thereby saving both time and storage space.

A key factor that makes ICE Mirror even more appealing is that it is free to use. A quick evaluation reveals several pros and cons for this handy utility:

Pros:

• Ultra fast mirroring due to incremental updates
• Differential updates significantly benefit those using read-only media
• User-friendly and efficient, ensuring only changed files are copied
• Widely compatible with multiple versions of Windows
