good backup program

[lockmac]

Hi. I have bought an external HDD and am going to use it to backup my whole partition that has my data on it. Does anyone know of a good program that I can use that can backup data really easily without me barely having to do anything? I would much prefer a program that is in a way integrated into windows if you know what I mean, or a program that has a professional interface.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

IMHO, SyncBack and/or Robocopy work great with external HDs.

built in backup should work OK. Not sure if it's included in home.

ntbackup?
I've had plenty of difficulties with it myself... I don't know how reliable it is...

Not what I would use for mission critical data in the enterprise, but it works OK at home for me to back up my windows box to my samba server. Never had any problems, it's a bit clunky and slow is all. I have used it at work on tape drives, but I prefer to just make the boss suck it up for another vertis license and turn the backups over to the guy who runs/maintains the veritis stuff.
