This small company in Dallas, Texas, called "Los Tres Amigos" is coming out withan "Intelligent background copy" program that might fit your need.
It works by letting you select a "source folder" and a "destination folder" and
then proceed to copy all files from the "source folder" that have a newer
modification date, or have no counterpart (i.e. new files) in the "destination
folder"
If you are running MultiFinder, it will even copy files in the background so you
can get something useful done in the foreground.
It is now being field tested in Mobil Oil's PRISM project Team B.
For further information, contact: Los Tres Amigos

I believe they are planning on introducing the product in August for $49.95 for
a month, then $79.95 after that.
