Reliable backup software for Windows XP

[chrishansenhome]

I have been getting a lot of abuse from Norton Ghost (v10) lately. Despite having more backup space than I can currently use, it aborts some backups, serves up annoying popups every once in a while (or more than every once in a while), and is a general pain in the neck.

Do any of my readers have a favourite backup program that they could point me to? I would say that money is no object (that's not entirely true) but I am interested in something that is reliable and relatively unobtrusive.

Oh, and did I mention that Ghost is a real resource hog? It slows operations down to a crawl sometimes and is very resistant to attempts to postpone its online backups to a more convenient time.

why do u need a backup program, and what do you backup?

I need to back up my computer on a regular basis, as I would be pretty well lost if I lost any of it. Ghost is pretty sh*tty, and I need something that will reliably and silently (but perceptibly) back up my data on my home computer.

backing up.. the registry of your computer too?

oh, absolutely; the registry most of all!
