One thing you could use it tar the source directory into a tar file and then 
extract that file to you target directory. You can then use tar's update 
facility to only update the files in the source directory that have been 
changed since the last backup into the tar file and then ectract the whole 
tar file into your destination directory any time you want to update it. 
Should be easy enough to script
