What do you use for backup and synchronizing external drives? Is Windows 7 backup programme worth anything?
Backup-- Windows Home Server, managed from the server side. I keep my music & pics synched with SyncToy.
Window's backup isn't terrible. And its free. You want to make an image of your primary drive for restorations or just back up data?
I want to back up data - tens of thousands of pictures of old papers, and a few hundred text files. I want to synchronize music and those text files, mostly because I might not remember which of them I have modified during the course of a day.
Perhaps a commercial software like suresync then.
The free SyncToy program from MS should cover the sync part. Use Windows backup for your system files & you're set.

I use Nero Back-it UP, it came with the Nero Suite.
But I heard great things about this one (http://www.altaro.com/), inspired by Apple's Time Machine. There's a free trial so you could download it and see.
