Good free backup program?

[deadoralive]

I am looking for a completely free backup program for a client.

I would like to select the directories to backup and have it do it automatically without any user intervention.

The files will just be backed up to a second HD in the PC.

Any recommendations?

yeah that was the first thing i thought of, but i don't have much experience writing batch files so was looking for a 3rd party program.

with xcopy doesn't it only allow 8 character filenames? if you have windows xp you have nt backup it does a better job than xcopy in batch files

yeah i'm gonna check out the details on NTBackup, i've never actually used it, looks as though you can schedule it and such though, so it should work.
