I use Acronis Home Backup to keep my Windows computers backed up. It is fairly inexpensive, works well, and allows you to create a complete backup so you can restore EVERYTHING to a new HD if you need to. I create a new backup every month and then do incremental backups during the month. That lets me restore anything that I need to. I have amazed customer support people on the phone when I call with a computer problem and say at I ha a complete backup. I know that it is only a matter of time until hardware breaks, and i don't have time to restore everything from scratch.
Today and tomorrow Bits du Jour has a special deal on Acronis Home Backup. Only $24.99 for the base system and the add-on that lets you do a COMPLETE restore to any hard drive, even one of a different size than the original. This deal is scheduled to end at midnight on Friday. If you already have a backup system, use it. If you don't, this is the one that I use.
