   Copy entire C: contents

   Because my regular backup software on this Win 10 PC is suddenly not   
   working I'd be very grateful if someone could suggest a reliable batch   
   file I can use until I get it fixed please?   
      
   I could do this in File Explorer but, although I'm no programmer, I   
   suspect a batch would be quicker and safer?   
      
   I want to copy the entire contents of my OS (SSD) file C: to   
   D:\2ndCopyCtoDDaily, about 160 GB, preserving all folder names. As the   
   volumes are large I want to use the existing destination.   
      
   Even better, unless it's too complicated, I'd like to exclude my 50GB   
   Dropbox folder, C:\Users\Terry\Dropbox\, as I have managed to keep that   
   working in Second Copy.
