Auto-copying

The hard drive on a server I normally work with will be replaced soon as it is old and it has issues. For this reason I copied all the data to another hard drive but this second one will be temporary until a bigger and more stable one is set up on a server.

Considering the above scenario, I will call the first drive X and the second one Y, I am looking at a simple script that would automatically copy any document created in X in the same mirror folder in Y. Perhaps there is a command already for this or a setting configuration but I could not find it.

In other words I am looking at a script that will same the time to go find Y and then the specific folder and then copy. So one action instead of 3 or 4. It is a sort of auto-back up on a mirror directory.

Any ideas?

Thank you, that is a good tip and will partially work however I was looking at something that wouldn't require
to go in a specific folder but have the script find the folder and either copy the file or sync the folder. This is to
handle instances when I would forget to sync the folder due to speed or other reasons.
