I have mentioned setting cron jobs under linux, which is more or less the same concept.
All you do is setup rsync with the right options and exclusions and stuff, make a bash script to run those commands, and run said bash script at regular intervals.



You can do the same thing with FreeFileSync: http://www.trustyetc.com/trustyblog/...-freefilesync/
You setup FreeFileSync to do what you want, then go to File ==> Save and you can save the settings to run FreeFileSync with that setup via a script. Then go to Task Scheduler and schedule FreeFileSync to run regularly, with the saved settings file as a parameter.
