At the risk of mentioning a too simple solution to a complicated problem:
Not too long ago I told our dept. computer consultant that I really needed
a good backup for my
computer, and I had been warned against using a Windows supplied backup. He
told me that the Windows backup on XP is now very good, and it will
automatically backup everything in My Documents.
