Maybe the freeware version of SyncBack would suit your needs

http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/compare.html

I use SyncBackSE (shareware) version to backup or sync files from HD to USB drive.  Has options to compress (zip), run on auto insert of USB (but would need a device watcher app it installs).  If a sync/backup profile is run manually it can prompt user what to do (one way sync, two way sync, etc).

I use the SyncBackSE portable version so I just unzip and copy the app directory to my USB drive and run from there.  Don't know if the freeware version has separate portable download.  If not then run installer, copy directory app, and uninstall.  Then run syncback to see if it still runs.

I just found out about SyncButler from Kim Komando today.  But I haven't tried it yet.Link

@techidave:
Here's an open source tool named Drive Backup which sounds worthwhile. Haven't had an opportunity to test yet.
