What I do is schedule a job under windows that runs commands of the form:

xcopy /c /s /y /m /r /k E:\* G:\BACKUPofE >> G:\BACKUPofE\logs.txt

If you do an :xcopy /? you will see the various flags.  If you do 
this to several destinations (as I do), you must ensure that 
you  pick the options so that the "backup" flag doesn't get reset 
until your last pass.
