I use Synk Backup. But frankly, I somewhat changed my preferred folder  
structure to match the limitations of that version. I am so satisfied  
with Synk, that sooner or later I will probably go with Synk Standard.

It offers a lot more that is useful even for home users:
- Batch runs to easily set up backups of different folders with  
different backup/archiving settings
- Reverse synchronization
- Log searching
- Filter rules

Seems worth it for only $10 more.
