Try Peersync (www.peersoftware.com). Among *many* other things, this allows you
to compress (ZIP) files/folders at the source end, and allows passwording on an
automated basis. It can also run continuously if that is your preferered option.

I looked at RoboCopy, but I don't have vpn capability at this time - I would
have to replace all of the remote routers. Only backing up the changed files
would be ideal - just don't know of a secure way over a non-vpn connection ...
maybe there is no other way??
