Automatic Backup to external hard drive

[WindowsIsSlow]

I'd like to automatically backup certain folders to an external hard drive every time it's plugged in. I've tried Windows 7 Backup tool but it creates an icon and I would like the folder to be able to be navigatable (for the reason that I need to know what has been backed up and what hasn't, also I don't want to restore an entire folder at times, sometimes I just want to restore a couple of files).

How can I make this happen? Using either Windows 7 backup or another tool

Hello and welcome WIS mate that sounds like a tall order the only back up I know of is this Set up or change automatic backup settings

The realtimesync component of FreeFileSync can detect when a USB stick/drive is inserted and back up to it. The link is in my sig.

CAVEAT. I have not tried this myself.
