"rsync" is free and specifically designed for this purpose. It's usually installed on Linux distributions out of the box.

https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync

Given 2 servers:

rsync -avP [email protected]:/path/to/source/folder /path/to/destination/folder/

You can also do it within a computer as well if you have multiple drives.

rsync -avP /drive1/source/folder /drive2/destination/folder

Subsequent runs of the command will check modified dates and file checksums. From there it will only copy the changes. You can run it once a day or however often you want.

It's installed in OS X as well and can be used in the Terminal.
