I'm looking for a reliable way to automatically copy or sync flat files from my client's computer to two different network locations. An incremental backup approach would be preferred. The software should allow me to store a non-Active Directory password for access to the target location and must be capable of running as a service. I've tried various methods in the past, but I've been disappointed with DFS. Has Microsoft provided a replacement for the backup software they previously discontinued?

What about avoiding mapped drives? Instead, using Robocopy directly would keep your NAS and backup host safe from ransomware threats.
Why not use your existing backup software? It seems like you already have one set up. You mentioned needing a second on-site backup, right? You could use the current setup to back up to the backup host as well.
If you're open to using WSL2 or Cygwin, you might want to try rsync through Task Scheduler. It sounds like it could do exactly what you need.
Have you considered using Robocopy? It's quite reliable for file transfers and can handle incremental backups pretty well.
