backup utility

I'm trying to find a light and practical backup utility that will backup any modified files within my project folder and sub-folders at automated time schedules or some app that compares folder and updates modified files). I know there is Dhomas' backup plugin for TVP, but I'm wondering about alternatives, preferably free ones.

can people please write what and if they use any such backup app?

I can recommend Youngmonkey's Backup 1.5 plugin for TVP which is easy to handle and reliable. Far as I know there are several people around here also using it (Paul, Sierra...). But it's only Win, I am guessing.

Thanks Klaus, but I already mentioned that I know this plugin

And I think it's a good plugin too.
I'm just trying to find out what other lightweight solutions are out there. Especially open source ones.

p.s - Youngmonkey website is not accessible for some reason.

Backup solutions are available for every platform in any flavour. Look for ones which can be configured to your taste.

Just to name a few: (there are tons of them:)

Back Up Service (free , WIN) works like Mac OsTime Machine, incremental saves of files, also able to save with manual configuration:

Backup Slave 1.0.3.6 (free, WIN) incremental save; also with FTP and zip - options.http://www.softrare.de/files.html

Cobian Backup 8 or 9 (free, WIN, highly recommended) incremental save, FTP and various rar/zip formats, v 8 is free/open source and v9 is pro.

Comodo Backup (free, WIN) save like MacOs Time Machine but with files compressed automatically in various formats:
