Back me up

Some software advice please?

I've just bought a backup hard drive (4 TB) which I'd like to use to save copies of my more ephemeral files, such as .mp3, .wav, .jpeg, .CR2, .rns, etc.

Is there a bit of software which will automatically save such files to a folder on an (USB3 connected,) external drive?

If not automatically, then one which will search drives daily/weekly or so, and back up any nominated file types?

Many thanks in advance,

Gob, maybe you've checked the site linked below already but, without my reading it in its entirety, it seems to mention what you're looking for. Regardless, I'm sure your query isn't the only one so I'm confident you'll find a software app. How much do you want to pay for it?
