What I was looking for turned out to be Microsoft SnycToy, a free download from their updates and downloads website. It appears to have been written by Microsoft staff but is not supported officially by Microsoft. Nevertheless, it's available from Microsoft (which must be some sort of endorsement) and it does exactly what is says it should do... which is, you specify on your PC a drive:folder(s)/file(s) and specify (in my case) a usb memory device and an external hard drive folder(s)/files(s) and set it off running. It looks at both sets of data and updates both to the latest condition. Saves all that tedious cutting and pasting. PERFECT!! :) Very useful for backing up music, photos, files... It also does several other variations on a similar theme that I haven't explored yet.
