Synchronize 2 folders automatically

I usually manually drag my project folder to a network drive and a local
drive to backup. Sometimes, I forgot to do it. I wonder what program would
you recommend for automating this process. A program you can assign a time
(maybe late in the night) to synchronize a target folder with a source
folder; it allows you to click "Syn now" to synchronize 2 folders whenever
you have a need to; it allows multiple sets of source and target folders to
sync.

Is there a program like that?

TIA,

Robocopy with the mirror option will do this - it's available in the W2k
resource kit.

Click to expand...

I like 'second copy' from
http://www.centered.com/

(30 day free trial, after that you can keep copying, but not alter what
is copied)
 
Thank you all for the suggestion. I don't have Win2K service kit so I
tried 2nd Copy 2000. Yes, it does exactly what I need.

Thanks a lot,
