Have you tried SyncToy?
I use it at home and at work.

If you are willing to share with your dad, I would recommend Crashplan free. You can have your backups sent to your dad and he can have his sent to you.

Robocopy running from a scheduled batch file (as mentioned by others) is a good choice. Also, take a look at Cobian backup. I've been using it for years. It has a built in scheduler so can run unattended. The only possible downside is the backups are stored in ZIP file format so an unzipping application is needed to access the backups. 7ZIP is a freebie that could accomplish that.

Veeam Endpoint Backup is free and does a full-image backup. CrashPlan is another popular option with some good off-site options.

+1 for Cobian BackUp, have used it for years and it works great, and is free.

I've been using Macrium Reflect[^] since January, and I'm pretty happy with it: once set up it just works.
Currently my setup is configured to do incremental backups daily and full backups weekly, with a set rotation of 6 weeks (i. e., backups older than 6 weeks get overwritten)
You can freely configure what disk or subdirectories to backup and where to put it (just needs to be on a different drive). If your PC isn't running at the scheduled times, the backup will run the next time you turn it on. When it starts, a dialog will pop up that will let you defer it, but I never really needed that as it doesn't interfere with running applications or even games.
Restoration works pretty well, too, and I even used it once to clone my installation to a secondary SSD.
Speed is great: the initial backup of my fresh Windows 7 installation (~36GB) took ~70s (source: SSD, target: SSHD). Windows 10 was similar. Incremental backups take less than a minute, spending most of the time searching for changes.
The backup data is compressed, and that greatly helps for writing the data onto my SSHD as even a full backup fits into the SSD write buffer. Obviously it would also help in case you wish to store your backup on an USB drive or other external drives with a low(er) bandwidth connection.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

I found out in my local (French) builders merchants. It was 8:30 am, and they had bottles of wine open, a coffee urn, raw meats and cheeses, bread and cake.
Very civilised the Frogs are!

Sounds like breakfast for someone who doesn't plan on doing any work.

Well, thats Nagy for the day(s). I remember going to France with my Parents and going into a cafe on the dock side (@ about 06:00) and there were some Dock Workers and I assume from the smell Fishermen drinking shorts with a French stick with Bacon (Breakfast of Champions)

Apologies sir! Are you working with MATLAB at the moment?
|
|
|
|
|
- Yes I'm using it.
- No, I can't help

From the brief look at some MATLAB code I saw it seemed to BASIC oriented with bits O' Pascal & C stuck in to (presumably to get around problems) and I was a little supprised it could create Exe's, Ihave only seen scripts generated...

Yup it is! Third Thursday every November.
Me and a mate throw a party every year to celebrate.
It is a well preserved secret that the "delicacy" of the wine is just an excuse to have some fun, so do not tell anyone.

The Japanese are almost as good, sashimi, sake and beer at 6 am is an excellent start to a saturday though I do prefer stinky cheese and pig.

Tim Bowness - Sing To Me[^]
Came across this album on Spotify some weeks ago.
Usually not my cup of tea, but this song is particularly good 
It's (prog)rock music, on the soft side, bit of ambient, some violins.
Enjoy

If you like that style see if you can find John Paul Jone's Thunder Thief, not quiet the same but similar...

That makes me asleep 
Just listened to this song[^]. It always brings back the good old days. And yeah it's unplugged.
|
|
|
|
|
Dude! Takes me back to just having MTV when Uplugged was the thing.
|
|
|
|
|
Hell yeah! I'm really into unplugged. It's clean and very nice to hear 
|
|

I like the instrumentals, and progression toward the end. The intro was a little slow and wimpy for me.
Had to look away from the monitor because the lady wouldn't stop staring at me. Creepy.
Thanks for sharing.

That's reeeeeeallly cheesy. But maybe I'm gettin' old or something, becuase I actually quite like it. The video is hilarious. Like something an Irish indie band might have put out in the 80s.....
