Opinions: Best Backup Software - freeware/shareware ??

Hi! 😎

So, what is the best freeware/shareware backup program?

I'm looking for something that:

- runs on XP
- can be scheduled automatically either by its own scheduler or by using WinXP's scheduler
- it would be nice if - in a pinch - the backups can be restored without the program

 
Well, I already have Ghost, but that has to be run manually, and I've just been bitten by "HD crashed right in the middle of a period when I was too busy to do manual backups".

After a complete reinstall, I've done Ghost images of my OS and apps, but I did lose a couple of months of email and online-purchase receipts.

So, I'm looking for something that would automatically backup specified files and/or folders to another HD (presumably at 4am every day).
