I'm looking for a simple utility to copy files from 'my documents' on to a mapped network drive. Doesn't need to be synchronous especially.

I've come across this type of software before, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for now.

Any recommendations?

I use Synctoy which is great. Dunno what the url for it is but it is an MS powertoy AFAIK. You'll have to google it.

I've found "rsync" to be fast, reliable and secure.

And there's a Windows port of it (which I have never used!) called DeltaCopy;
