Best Free Or Cheap Backup Solution

[MelonSplitter]

I just bought a new WD External HD and would like to put it to use. I am a Gamer that has a lot of saves and profiles in different games and also have a lot of other stuff such as RoboForm,Passwords,Favorites,Movies,Music and such. I do not have a lot of expierence with backing up but that will soon change. Any suggestions for an easy to use Backup solution that is free or reasonably priced.

SyncToy is free and works well.

Agreed, it is the best free solution out there, and it works very well.

I also use Synctoy. If you're using a 64-bit version of Windows, you will want to get Synctoy 2.0 beta, since 1.x doesn't have x64 OS support.

It does, but you have to manually place a .dll file. I had to Google the instructions, but it works fine with Vista x64 and WinXP x64.
