SyncToy is a great little application for syncing files between two locations, either remotely or backing up files from one hard drive to another on the same system automatically.
The one problem I have with this program is how unbelievably slow it is. You can easily start this, go to a restaurant and catch a movie before this thing is done. To be fair, my experience has been with a 200gig backup.
The reason you would use this versus just dragging and dropping is because it sees what files have been changed or added and only changes or adds those files rather than over-writing them. This is much safer. You can also add certain file extensions to a excluded list so they aren't copied, handy.
There are 32bit and 64bit versions.
