Using FreeFileSync and RealTimeSync
You can do the following:
1) download and install
2) create the destination folder (I used the following in a mountable disk):
usb_backups (a folder for the backups)
├── huolongjing (a folder for the USB stick)
├── huolongjing_SyncSettings.ffs_batch
├── huolongjing_SyncSettings.ffs_gui
├── huolongjing_SyncSettings.ffs_real
└── huolongjing_version (a folder for versioning, just as a safeguard)
3) open FreeFileSync and compose your sync task.
4) safe as a .ffs_batch file (optionally as a .ffs_gui as well)
5) store as shown
6) open RealtimeSync and load the .ffs_batch file.
7) Add additional folders to monitor if so desired
8) Save as a .ffs_real file
9) Make sure Realtimesync gets loaded on startup, referencing that .fss_real file.
