If you are running Windows then a very simple form of backup is to run a DOS command of the form:
XCOPY /D /S /Y SourceFolder TargetFolder
This will do a copy (including sub-folders), and the /D option tells it to only copy files whose date has changed.
More sophisticated backup solutions will do differential backups and give you the option to return to a nominated point in time. The backup utility that comes as part of Windows will do for most people.
