Best one button backup solution?

[geuben]

Hi guys, I'm after an external hard drive for my parents. I'm particularly looking at one with good backup software included (by good I mean simplest ), They have quite a large collection of photos and files these days and would be seriously unimpressed if they lost them (with thier computer skills its not unlikely).

Can anyone recommend a good external hard drive with an included backing up program? I use to have a maxtor onetouch but never really used the software so don't know much about them. Preferably as cheap as possible, the size of the actually hdd isn't that important as their computer only has an 80gb drive which isnt full.

Thanks

You can just use SyncToy to backup the photos on a set schedule, just remind them to make sure the drive is on whenever they are at the PC during the schedule time!

Cheers, just had a quick read about that and it looks like it could do the job. I also remembered that I have 60gb drive knocking around somewhere which should do nicely for an internal backup.
