Third party backup solutions

Can someone recommend a reliable (and preferably free) third party back-up
software, which can do a back-up according to a set schedule and in the
background? I tried Memeo's backup software, but it is just a lousy product

What's wrong with Vista's backup system?

Nothing "wrong" per se; but I was wondering whether there is any better tool
available for the purpose.

Personally - I highly recommend the investment in a Seagate Replica external
500GB drive. For about $100 U.S. and you can backup multiple machines -
completely and without much of any effort on your part. It can
backup/restore versions of files or a completely restore a system from
scratch.

The best depends on how the best is defined.

Mozy worked OK when I tested it a while back. The first 2 GB are free. The
one major security issue I found was that anyone with an account on the
computer could view my backed up files. I had e-mailed Mozy about that and
basically that was just the way the program worked. I didn't use it long
enough to find any other issues, and they might have fixed the issue I found
by now. At least it's free to try, so it wouldn't hurt.

Cobian Backup. It's completely free and can copy open/blocked files too.

What is it about Memeo's Backup software that you thought was lousy?
I've been using their product for quite some time and it's been doin
well. I bought the Pro version which included a scheduling feature.
hear all of the other versions do not provide that option

Handy Backup (handybackup.net) is working well for me. Have set up scheduled tasks once, running it as service and don't care.
