Does anyone know how to copy only the files that have been modifyed from one drive to a backup. It could be a program or .bat just something that can be scheduled.

There are flags with the xcopy command that will only copy the modified files.

Or you can use the Teracopy program to only overwrite files that are new (i.e. changed). 

Either of those can be scheduled.

I found a solution. For the curious I ended up using robocopy.

Robocopy "master" "backup" /MIR /Z
