Synching directories at night

Synching directories at night

I want to be able to have my Linux server at night sych some folders
that are on some windows machines. I want it to be able to have exact
copies that are current as of the previous day. Is there a way to do
this so that only changed files are updated? I understand samba and
cron. I can copy the files and write the scripts to automate it. But how
can I go about only updating changed files?
