What kinda software is good for this? Rite now I have a spare computer that I want to use as a place to backup my files. Problem is, its a pain to do it manually (ie copy and pasting to the network drive). Is there software that can automatically do the syncing?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

If you use a Linux machine, you can have rsync do the copying, and get archives of past files (that is, see what your My Docs looked like a week ago), without much overhead. See this link. If you're using Windows, you can still use rsync, but not get the archives - they depend on a Linux filesystem feature Windows doesn't do.
