Portable backup

I am looking for a program that backs up portable drives when you plug them in. My grandmother has a horrible habit of saving everything on usb drives and i want to be able to make back ups of the drives when they are plugged in. She also has files mysteriously become blank or disappear (probably doesn't realize its her clicking the wrong button).  If I can back them up when plugged in then I can restore the files when things happen.

Allway Sync 'n' Go:

Isn't automatic, but lives on the USB drive/hard drive/SD card. By "not automatic", I mean you have to launch it and tell it to copy the new files.

 

The lifetime license is pretty cheap, I think it was about $20.

Screwdriver specs: Long, pointy. Turns things. Some kind of metal.

 

Main rig: 

i9-7900x | Asus X299-Prime | 4x8GB G-Skill TridentZ @3300MHz | Samsung 970 Evo 500GB | Intel 5400S 1TB | Corsair HX1200

 

unRAID server:

Xeon  E5-1630v4 |  Asus X99-E WS | 4x8GB G-Skill DDR4 @2400MHz | Samsung 960 EVO 250GB cache drive | 12TB spinning rust | Corsair RM750X

 

FreeNAS server:

AMD something-or-other | Asus prebuilt sadness | 8GB DDR3-1600 | 9TB magnetic storage | Potential fire threat
