I want to backup a bunch of important files to a separate hard disk. What's the best program to use to set it and forget it?

im interested in something like this for my laptop where it syncs folders over a lan

I use a small software called "Almer Backup" for exactly the same.

I configure it to backup all info every 12 hours to the other HDD. It has also a "speed priority" option, that is very nice if you don't want to turn your PC slow for a few minutes, the program will copy a bit more slower but you can use it without problems.
