copy a file when the date of the source is newer than the destination
using xcopy and a loop i found this is a good way to make sure that changes in one file make their way across to another location using a windows batch file. this one loops every 5 seconds, i think you could run it without the 5 second timeout but it might cause excess cpu and drive usage.
BAT File
:loop
REM xcopy /D /Y
REM this will copy the file only if its changed from source to destination and check every 5 seconds for a change
xcopy file.txt file_backup.txt /D /Y
timeout /t 5
goto loop

If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there’s room to hear more subtle things. You see so much more than you could see before. It’s a discipline; you have to practice it.” Steve Jobs
