I have had an eye open for a simple, good and free software that can sync my files with another source for backup purposes (external hard drive and my iPod) and that can easily be scheduled and the other day I found one that I think I will go with for now. It is called SyncBack and is free. There is commercial version too which has additional features, but the free one is enough for me.

I am sure there are ways to do this using xcopy and other commands, but I don’t call that simple or good.
