I just copy my Documents folder and any zip files or program installers I may need, let the rest burn.

This is why I suggested SC. It only 'copies' and 'pastes' the files you select. Just like you would do by hand. The other benefit, is that if things are 'backed up' to an external drive, you could take the drive with you and the data is fully readable.
At $30, it's not bad for simple on site backups.
Anyway, everyone just needs to backup period. However it is accomplished.
