Back up software - Recommendations?

[Converge]

Good evening

I was wondering if anyone has experience of using any back up software besides Windows 7's own one?

It's just I tried using that one and it's incredibly slow, took like 3 days to back up my 1tb HD (has about 400gb used) and 80gb SD. It was literally going at the speed of a very slow download, about 40kb/s. Was this because I was backing up to an external drive though perhaps? Even then it should be faster than it was though surely?

Any nippy software out there otherwise?

Great, thanks for the replies chaps. I'll have a look through your recommendations in a bit and let you know how it goes

Yeah I'm just trying it out now. It's excellent, and very simple to use. I think I prefer it to an image based backup.
