here i am not best but i think You can setup a task by putting the copy command into a batch file and to run the copy after hours.also you can use COPY or XCOPY from a command line.

Check out FRS (File replication service) in the help system or you can try ROBOCOPY . By default Robocopy will only copy a file if the source and destination have different time stamps or different file sizes.

There are quite a few different ways of doing this.

Does it have to be batched or realtime?

Batched stuff there are LOTS of Free tools. Do a search and it will yield 100s.

Realtime there are mostly commercial companies.

DoubleTake is a www.doubletake.com . I think you can get an evaluation but there isnt a free version.

Cofio have have a free version if you register. http://www.cofio.com. The free version is limited to number of systems I believe but in your case should not be a an issue. AIMstor Data Replication

Other commercial companies include BakBone, Atempo, Symmentec, EMC. To my knowledge they all charge.
