MirrorFolder does what you're asking. I use it. It differs from solutions like Acronis because it just copies files around. So to restore a file you just copy it from the backup instead of pulling the file out of a big data file using the backup tool.

I use Acronis as well to periodically create an image of my machine for a bare metal restore.

The Windows backup software will also do incremental backups.
