I just found this nice back up utility that will do the type of backups that I need on my home workstation. http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/toucan/
I created a nice little batch file that I can run anytime I want to run a backup or I could use windows scheduler and have it run at a certain time each night. Here is the batch script: In Toucan I created a sync called Downloads and saved it. In the batch file I put:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Toucan\Toucan.exe” Downloads
pause
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Toucan\Toucan.exe” = the path where you installed Toucan.
Downloads = Name of sync file you made.
I saved the file as backupDownloads.bat and run it when I download new software.
