I used to do this for my itunes folder with rsync in the terminal but then I got tired or it and just copied my whole folder over to the external drive. There is an article on doing this with rsync here:

Nice thing with rsync is it just copies over whatever is newer so after the first round it doesn't take nearly as long. rsync is also network aware so you could copy stuff to a volume on any other computer that supports rsync, which would be any recent OSX machine.

Could you also accomplish this just with Time Machine?

Hi List,
Has anyone had VoiceOver success with software to mirror a folder to a 
harddrive or the reverse? I want to keep my music folder backed up to an 
external disc. I have tried File Sync to no avail. Would love to hear people's 
recommendations. Thanks.
Marc
