If you want toi copy a file or files based on change, robocopy left permentantly running with the /MIR in conjunction with /MON or MOT switches will do what you require.
As an example, robocopy c:\folder1\ c:\folder2 *.txt /r:o /w:0 /mir /MON:1 will copy all text files from folder1 to folder2 when there has been 1 or more changes to the folder.

BTW, ensure your running version XP10 or higher of robocopy.
Microsoft provide a GUI for robocopy if your uncomfortable with the comand line

Here is the download link for GUI version - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.11.utilityspotlight.aspx

You can create a batch script using robocopy command line strings and put in you schedule interval, so that on that particular schedule it will transfer/copy/move the file from source to destination

also u can use synctoy and a script with scheduler to automate it
