Program to sync two folders

Hi guys,

After setting up a Samba server I have a hard time finding a program that could sync two folders. Basically I have a folder on my hard drive and want it to be mirrored to my shared folder that I have mounted as a network drive. Right now I do "xcopy /Y /E", but it's time consuming as it copies everything and not just changed files. Also it's one way only. If I change something in the server I have to manually copy those files onto my box. A long time ago I used SyncToy for this purpose and as far as I remember I was satisfied with it. Best of all it was free. Is there anything like that nowadays?
 
yes there is the free SyncBack and the improved SynbackSE and Synback Pro

I've used the free version for a while before upgrading it's sufficient to do all the basic things

For Hard drive at todays price, someone still using tape drive for backup?
Amazing!

For Enterprise backups, a tape library still does an effective job at a good price. Of course I have initial backups going to disk for faster initial recovery but use tape for long term retention.
