OK, one more pitch for SyncToy. Then I will stop promise. I don't work for Microsoft and I make no money from them. I must disclose I am a Microsoft Partner but that has nothing to do with this. I have no idea why Microsoft would make anything for free, but they continue to churn out new versions and now have a Beta version out: 2.0.
Before I sound off a bit, I would like to give credit to SmartSync Pro, a program recommended on here around six to nine months ago by another user. Quite a few tried it and liked it. It does have more features and is easier to schedule. I don't think it is free unless you don't use the Pro version. Could be wrong.
One of the reasons I have talked about SyncToy, is in answer to the few on here who ask for a one-button backup. That is the beauty of ST, it is so simple. And, once set up, you click to open it, click to run, and it's done. And, it takes maybe all of 30 seconds so you know you are backed up. You can set up just one folder pair or 300.
Although, I use it frequently, I decided to try it from this computer. Made a new folder on the desktop, although you can make a new folder while setting up the folder pair, went to the site, downloaded and installed, set up the folder pair and ran it; all in less than three minutes.
I will list some sites that talk about SyncToy 1.4 and 2.0 Beta.

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/10/25/synctoy-2-0/http://lifehacker.com/software/featured-...y-20-326199.php There are many sync programs out there that are good. What I really like about SyncToy is 1) It is made by Microsoft (ok, no snickering), 2) It is free, and 3) It is so simple -- I like the way you browse first to each folder and set that up and then the other and, after naming it, you have that sync to choose from in a list. Very simple. Very accurate.
