   If you don't mind making a simple script file you can do all that free.   
   The script is   
   {   
   #!/bin/bash   
   #   
    SRCDIR="/home/jack/"   
    DESTDIR="/media/jack/Reserve/Jack-Backup/"   
    rsync -auv $SRCDIR $DESTDIR   
   #   
   }   
      
   Once you've saved that in a file in your home directory, open the home   
   directory ("/Jack" in my case), rightclick on the script file, choose   
   "Send To" -> "Desktop (Create Link"). An icon will appear on your desktop   
   that you can just right-click and it will execute the script. You may have   
   to manually mount the disk first (mine is called "Reserve").   
      
   The above version of the script doesn't delete anything, it just adds any   
   new files to the backup disk and overwrites old versions of files on your   
   backup disk with the new versions that are on your source disk. If that   
   isn't what you want, you can add "--delete" to the rsync parameters in the   
   script; this deletes files from your destination directory if they aren't   
   present in the source directory.
