Actually, Vista got way better, and Win7 nailed it. XP didn't really have 
the file system technology to support backups well. Win7 does. It's seamless.

That said, if anyone is still stuck on Vista or XP, ask me for my scripts. 
It *is* possible to use free software to make complete backups of both those 
machines, both full and incremental.
