I have a Laptop contains windows 10 and I need to sync 60G to windows server 2016 which is in a different network (100km far away ), then I would like to have a nightly daily sync process that syncs the updates only without having to copy the entire 60 gigabytes every time. So essentially a delta or block-level sync and then file-level sync. So, what is the easiest way to get this going?

Having a look around this article seems to provide a good overview on how to use the incremental feature of Robocopy to sync only changes:

My experience of doing this sort of thing on Windows however is quite limited; though I have used rsync in the past on Linux with great success to run offsite backups for various projects including a live ecommerce site.

If you could potentially have the data on Linux machines at both source and destination rsync may be an option, otherwise I do believe there are ports of rsync to Windows though these might be quite tricky to install and use.

Alternatively there's a couple of open source projects that should do what you're looking to achieve:

An older piece of software:

None of these offer an off the shelf solution as such and will require some reading of the documentation but if you're setting up automated batch processes / scheduled it should be fairly easy to script these.

Also maybe you would take a look at Gs Richcopy 360 or Beyond Sync ,both support Block/file level replication , resume transfer, multiple devices sync , and many other useful features .
