It's enough for me. It's simple, detects the type of drive, supports scheduling and automatically adds new drives. I think it's even setup automatically when you install Windows 10.

The schedule sometimes runs when it wants. You can't specify the time, only frequency.

Sadly it doesn't support the ExFAT filesystem at the moment
