Software for Backing Up Files

[panthro]

I have 2 external HDDs that are 500GB and 1 internal 160Gb on my laptop; I want to keep one 500Gb purely for back up.
Is there any software that I can use that can back the 2 HDD's onto the spare 500Gb? (I dont have anywhere near 500gb on both HDD's).
Mainly for all my photos, films and documents.
Hope this makes sense

Select the files and then copy ?
That sounds too simple for your needs as I suspect you may be looking an automatic backup facility

Heard of or tried Robocopy?

Built-in transfer facility for Vista and 7, can be downloaded for XP. Allows me to create a batch file mirroring 2 drive letters and therefore only transfers updated/new files instead of copying the whole drive again and again.

I'm a big fan of ViceVersa. Alternatively a .bat file and robocopy do a pretty good job.

They both sound good, thats what Im after, just backs up new files, as I take a few pictures and its hard to keep track.

SyncToy - perfect for the job, plus with a nice GUI to see exactly what it's done, any errors etc.
