If you have Vista the built in Backup and Restore Center works quite well, even if you only have one of the home versions. I still like True Image because it has never failed me for complete a complete cloning of multiple partitions and multiple operating systems including Linux in a multi-boot setup.
I think a online backup such as Amazons S3 using Jungledisk is a great off site way to go. The prices for storage are so cheap and can be automated.

you are quoting prices with True Image. That's for 1 machine? As like the other poster, I just get the need to setup backups from several machines in a home network and I just found your blog. Perfect timing!

You say you can backup several machines to the Galaxy. That's a USB device so that 1 machine needs to be on / shared folder, right? In this situation, we are looking to put the external drive (NAS?) in the basement because any 1 machine won't be on all the time.

Wow, talk about good timing! I've been wanting to update my backup method/devices and this hits the spot. Thanks for the various reviews.

I knew I could count on you guys!
