FBackup Reviews:

This is exactly what I have been looking for – simple as MS Synctoy, yet powerful enough to enable simple mirroring. There is one drawback though – does not preview the backup actions. Unfortunately, without preview any backup might by too risky to use. Apart from that – excellent.”

It’s flexible. It can bkup my all my own files by detecting changes, so repeat backups take only a couple of minutes.
