Plug in your external device, then in 'My Computer' right click it > create shortcut. You should then end up with a desktop shortcut. My System: Hybr!d

We'll if you save all the files you are changing in one folder on your PC, then at the interval you choose drag the folder to the shortcut on the desktop for the external drive or whatever.
If you want an automatic solution you will need some software, but, in my opinion, how long does it really take to drag a folder from one place to another. |
