SyncBack

A while ago I wrote about some of the tools that I use for backups. Making copies from one drive to another, whether locally or across the network is part of my backup strategy. I really needed an app that would compare the contents of two folders and then update one to match the other. For the longest time I used FolderMatch and I even paid for a license since I found it to be so useful.

I've found something even more useful and the basic version is free. There's a standard edition, SyncBackSE and a Pro edition, SyncBackPro that offer even more features. This incredible useful and solid utility does exactly what I want and gives me options to save each Profile that I use (for example Backup drive e to z, or sync e and z, etc) and to run them at the click of a button. The profiles can also be customized to some degree. I highly recommend you check it out.
