@Midas I wasn't trying to delete your comment, I just right-clicked it to copy the cid and it was marked for deletion. That's a bug.

Idlebackup is a backup solution for common automatic and manual file and folder backups. Files can be saved to a drive, network, or subfolder. By default, the program mirrors file and folder content but available ZIP compression also includes versioning and either separate or a single ZIP file.

Restored files can be sent to their original location or a specified folder. Backup scheduling is limited to a single time cycle, by default every 120 seconds.

Note: Main site offline, linking to the mirror for the last portable version (V1.16d). Later versions write settings to user profile folder.

I should add that I don't know if this version is portable.

Mixture: billon got it updated.

Still a great program even 8 years later. Although I still prefer AutoVer, this is an excellent alternative.
