Automated flash drive backup utility?

I have been searching for months for a free automated backup utility for USB flash drives, with no luck. Does anyone know of one that exists any where, or of a possible script to set up to execute? I just want Windows to recognize the drive when it is plugged in and copy its entire contents to a hard drive on the folder.

Automatic flash drive back up

There is one such tool but doesn't come for free.
Check www.maitainzip.com.

It can zip the content automatically when the appropriate flash drive is plugged. i.e. you need to create the profile once and from next time onwards, it can recognise the drive insert and zip appropriate files.
