Before you run out and buy it, PC-Tools 6 does NOT have disk mirroring.
Disk mirroring is keeping a complete image-type copy of one drive on another;
any updates made to the primary drive are automatically made to the other, for
the sake of reliability.

PC-Tools 6 DOES have a utility CALLED "Mirror" that keeps a backup of your
directory structure and FAT stored on the disk.  It also keeps full directory
info on all the files you delete, for later recovery.  It works very well, but
it is NOT what you are looking for when you speak of disk mirroring.
