Thanks to the robocopy command, you don't need to use Window's backup software or install a program to manage your backups.
Just execute the following, obviously replacing the source and destination folders with whatever you'd like to back up and where it should go.
robocopy c:usersellendocuments f:mybackupdocuments /copyall /e /r:0 /dcopy:t /mir
The robocopy command with these options functions identically to an incremental backup software tool, keeping both locations in sync.
You don't have the robocopy command if you're using Windows XP or earlier. However, you do have the xcopy command, which can be used to do something very similar:
xcopy c:usersellendocuments f:mybackupdocuments /c /d /e /h /i /k /q /r /s /x /y
No matter which command you choose to use, just create a batch file containing the command and schedule it to run in Task Scheduler, and you'll have your own custom made backup solution.
