Give it a source and destination folder and it'll keep the content synchronized between the two, I haven't played with it in a while but the mirror setting sounds like what you're after.

It looks like they're up to version 2.0 whereas I last tried 1.4 which you had to manually schedule the sync with a scheduled task but even that isn't difficult.

That's how it works

You will need to setup a schedule to run it but that's detailed quite well in the help menu.

Edit: That's assuming you want to use it as a backup against accidental deletions, If you just want to protect against drive failure then the default sync will delete from D: when you delete from C:

Sorry fella, Not a fucking clue.
I'm much weaker on the FOSS stuff then on MS.

It shouldn't be too hard to setup though from what little I do know.
