I've been using Acronis True Image for Windows for a few years now.
I haven't heard anything good about the later versions, but the one I use works
more or less. I used and still use it on 2k, XP and W7.
It just sometimes coughs on a backup job if it runa it directly after resume
from standby or hibernate, so I have to restart it manually.
You can do backups of folders or partitions via the live CD, you can restore
individual folders from a partition backup, or you just mount an image as read
only and browse it.
I set to to automatically make a new differential backup of my system drive
every week and I create a new backup job quarterly.
That said, I have 4 HDDs in my system:
- 60GB SSD as system drive
- 2TB for PVR data and
- 2TB for other stuff and data
- 1TB for backups and my VMs
