Mirroring information across a network?

I have a file server on my personal LAN which acts as my backup server for all of my collected information and website backups. I also keep an exact copy on my main rig in a separate partition from everything else. Is there a way to mirror the information/files that I change/add/delete on my local machine to the file server automatically. Right now I copy everything over when I get the chance but sometimes I forget for a few weeks at a time. I don't need real time backup but maybe every night or other night. Of course I prefer cheap and don't want something with a lot of overhead usage of the cpu/hd al the time. Thanks!
 
Batch files, xcopy, and scheduled tasks manager. All built into Windows. Just map a drive from one to the other
Here's an example of the batch file:

cd
xcopy /s /e /y s:\*.* d:
cd
exit
 
There are a few cheap or free backup solutions. NTBackup is built into XP pro as well. of course you didn't mention an OS period so hard to make any realistic recommendations.
 
Robocopy.exe + Scheduler

It's part of the Windows Server 2003 resource kit tool and is a free download from Microsoft website.
