Backup of a specific folder

[Mayuukosan]

Hello everyone!

I am looking for a program which can back up a specific folder on my drive, whenever the data inside changes.
I do some work from home, and am also in college, so I would like to keep backups. But I tend to forget to save the files to a separate location. Windows 7 64-bit or a Ubuntu program.

I have heard of disc imaging services, and understand those are a good idea, but is there one that can back-up just a specific folder, or does it have to be the entire system? (This may be a stupid question, I am not entirely sure how disc imaging software works.)

Thank you for all your assistance yet again!

What you want is to sync to folders.  One folder on your main drive, the other on an external device, such as a USB Flash, external drive  or even a network server.
Once synchronization is setup, it becomes transparent to the user. If you what it to work in the background.
Google:
synchronize folders in Windows 7

That will give you information about what Windows 7 will do for you and want third party software offers.

Both Macrium and Acronis will do selective backups of files/folders...

Thank you, I have Acronis, but I did not realize it could do specific folders, I thought it could only back up the entire drive. This was useful, thank you!
