you can use the built in backup system on windoze
start>programs>accessories>syste... tools>backup
and you can schedule them and specify what you backing up...there is also a wizard to help you

I do it manually, though in quite a regimented fashion.
I don't see the point in doing full machine backups, nor am I organised enough to ensure that I've put everything in the appropriate 'to be backed up' folders - so periodically, I sort by Last Modified, then dump all my Work, Fonts, My Docs and crap on an external. Every 6-8 months, I put all that to DVD.
Back when I did try scheduling, I always found it coming on at 2am as specified, right when I was in the middle of something. Nor do I like leaving machines on 24/7.
Every day, I backup recently worked-on key files on another internal drive and upload relatively complete versions online, 'just in case'.
Reading this back, I wonder whether I might actually be organised.

I do it manually. It's like the mothership to my 2 macs.
