I was a little surprised to see that rsync won't do it.
There is an rsync for MS Windows. Check out <http://rsync.samba.org>.
It is a non-native app, meaning you need something like cygwin to make
it work. Actually, the one referenced has its own version of cygwin
packaged with it. There are some cron like utilities for MS Windows that
should allow you to synchronize on a fixed schedule. I use this one:
<http://www.kalab.com/freeware/cron/cron.htm>
Also check the GnuWin32 tools
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617> for more
fun stuff to put on MS Windows.
rsync works very well from Cygwin under Windows. Setting up the Cygwin
version of cron to run as a Windows service shouldn't be too difficult either.
