That is a rather inefficient way to do things, and also not quite correct. Inefficient because you are copying files that haven't changed. Incorrect because it won't get rid of folders and files that are no longer in the library.
Synchronizer programs can do the job well. The copy what is new/changed, and if instructed to, delete what isn't there any more. I have used synctoy, karens replicator, and xcopy. There are others.
You can also use windows backup. It does a tolerably good job for this sort of thing, and gives you some level of history.
