Backup Software

[TempletonPeck]

I'm looking for some backup software (free preferably) that will basically automatically backup on a schedule a few basic things.

I'm just looking for something simple to backup Outlook Express e-mail contacts/address book and messages, Firefox bookmarks, My Documents and a few random folders.

Also, a simple restore is preferably. The user in question won't really feel comfortable manually restoring outlook express folders or Firefox bookmarks to directories.

I can't seem to find anything that fits the bill. It really should be easy to find this, but I'm having trouble find something that will simply do what I want here.

I've tried Comodo backup and todo backup so far

Vista and Win 7 both have pretty good built in backup capability. You have already paid for them.

That's good, except it's Windows XP.

I always thought ntbackup was a solid utility.

How much stuff do they need to backup? I use Mozy Home which costs about $5 a month. If they have less than 2GB of stuff to backup they could use the free version ...

I used to like mozy but anymore I would recommend going with BackBlaze. Unlimited space for $5 a month and they are fanatical about what they do. www.backblaze.com

thanks!
i just checked out backblaze and tried it out. it is pretty awesome.. very small program and it works quite well restoring also.
i'm going to start recommending this one. unlimited space is huge!
