How can I make Lightroom auto-backup to jpeg?

Question

I have recently got an android tablet and would like to keep a copy of most of my photos from my Lightroom archive on it for showing off my work, browsing etc. Is there any way to, preferably automatically on close (as with the backup procedure), export any photos that match a certain criteria to a folder on my hard drive. For example, I organise all my photos as so: /photos /album1 /good goodShot1.raw /rough roughShot1.raw roughShot2.raw /album2 /good goodShot1.raw /rough roughShot1.raw roughShot2.rawThe rough folder in each case stores all the photos for a particular shoot, just incase I need to go back for textures,edits etc. The good folder stores all the shots I was happy with/have edited. My desire would be to have a copy of each photo from the good folder exported as a jpeg in the similar folder structure like so: /export /album1 goodShot1.jpeg /album2 goodShot1.jpegThis would allow me to use Dropbox, etc. to sync these lower quality/memory images to my device for displaying to the world without too much hassle.

Lightroom's catalog backup process only backs up the catalog itself and does not automatically export photos as JPEG files. A common workaround is to create a collection of finished images and periodically export that collection to a separate folder that syncs with Dropbox or another cloud service. For more automation, some photographers use publish services, plug-ins, or external synchronization tools to keep exported JPEG versions updated alongside their Lightroom catalog.
