tool to copy/move files when they appear on network drive (windows)

Question

I have some computers behind firewall that write their data to network drive. I'm looking for the tool that would check every minute or so and if in specific directory of network drive a new file appeared it will (on choice) move it or copy it to local directory.

The local computer is working under windows 7.

FolderWatcher

WatchDirectory

VisualCRON

Personally I don't think I would use any of these as they will be significantly "heavier weight" than just writing a bat script to copy files and running that script from the task scheduler on file create event.

Rsync is a powerful tool that would be ideal for this, except it is mainly for linux.

Follow this guide though: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/05/rsync-for-windows-deltacopy/

And I'm pretty sure it'll be ideal
