Good back up software

I have my new Caviar Black 1TB arriving soon. And I will soon want to be able to back up this to a 1TB Caviar Green drive, so I don't lose all my information.

Is there any good, software which can do this for me?

Free or not. I don't mind. As long as it is good, and reliable.

Anyone got any good suggestions? Sorry to bump this, but I don't know of any good software to backup my entire hard drive onto another one.

If it is to make a backup image of the OS to be used incase of OS failure/corruption, then have a look at latest version of Acronis True Image Home, if it is just for backing up files\folders, then, Cobian Backup, EZBack-it-up, RoboCopy GUI, SyncToy 2, SyncBack Freeware etc...

Acronis True Image 2010. The price tag is most definitely worth it!

Thanks mate =)

It's mainly to make copies of my Documents and save games etc every few weeks automatically, without me having to worry about it.

Just received Nero BackItUp as a free download for upgrading to Nero 9. I know a lot of people **** Nero off, but this looks ok. It is set and forget, and will backup individual folders or a whole drive at intervals specified by the user without further intervention once set.
