(OP)
Does anyone have any suggestions on simple Windows backup software that will just copy certain data directories to a network drive automatically every night?
Thanks,

It's a simple text file saved with a .bat extention. You can keep it on your desktop and make shortcuts to it.
It generally only copies a file if it's newer than the one there.
The number of files in the destination folder tends to keep growing but it's just a way to ensure a HDD failure cannot cost me more than a days lost work.
At home I perform a real HDD synchronization using Synchback Pro. It does a nice job.
