Yep Ghost is probably the best, but it costs. I've got two WD MyBooks and I run two backups one of the C: and D: drives from my desktop and one of the C: drive of my laptop, plus any large video and game files. I use Syncback but don't bother with trying to backup the XP and Vista or the registry. Just the data. The reason? I figure it is just as easy to reinstall what I need as I need it which allows me to reoganise my HDD if ever I need to do a restore and basically it is the data I need to back up not the software.
I've thought about putting a cheap SAN in to handle media and or software backups as you can get them for about AU$400 now and then it's online all the time. The MyBooks were such a good buy though I couldn't go past em.
