I use a little program called Fastcopy. You can make a bat file that you just double click on and have it copy form one spot to the other, or add it to task scheduler and it runs once a week or whatever. It can do syncing so it will only copy the new/changed files. I've used it for years at work to do daily backups of several TB's of files. It's also super fast because it doesn't use the builtin Windows copying code, and doesn't get hung up on asking questions for duplicate files and other stupid stuff. It also makes a log so you can see it is doing its job, or what didn't work.
The only drawback is the help files are a little cryptic because the author is Japanese. But if you are interested I can give you a sample to get it going.
