I've been using the Microsoft "Backup Utility" that comes with Windows to backup my music and other files. I do a weekly full backup and daily incremental backups. I have scheduled the backups to run automatically early in the morning by using the Scheduled Tasks feature in Windows. I have also set the BIOS to power up my PC just before the backup is due to start. This means that the backup is finished before I need to use my PC. (The PC can be a bit sluggish while the backup is being performed.) This can be done completely automatically, without logging in because the backup program can run as a service in the background.
The only downsides I have experienced are the previously-mentioned sluggishness while the backup is performed and the fact that the once-a-week backup takes around a couple of hours. There may be better ways of achieving this, but for me, this method, once set up is a total no-brainer.
