RobocopyKIS is a graphical interface to Microsoft's robocopy (Robust copy) tool, specifically its mirror mode where KIS means keep-it-simple. The mirror mode is ideal for home computer backups of a set of folders with unique names to an external USB drive. The intended use is to backup your User folders like Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc. to a directory location on a USB drive. The folder names are created on the USB drive and the contents mirrored (i.e., the contents of your User folders are exactly mirror under the target folder) to each unique folder. The contents of the destination are copied or deleted to match the contents on your main computer's User folders. The selection of folders allows one to only backup the data that they care about and not everything under the User's directory like the folder 3D Objects or other hidden folders like AppData that you may or may not want mirrored.
Features
- Mirror a set of folders to another directory location where each directory is mirrored with Robocopy separately.

- Revert to classic Robocopy mirror mode, which is single directory mirror mode.
- Run your backup in trial mode to see what would happen. Note that the destination folders are created in trial mode.
- Save/load your mirror configuration to/from a JSON file.
