I have used Genie backup software for several years and it has saved me several times. The Home Edition V8 is the best so far with no major flaws and for around £30 it is a steal. Highly recommended on XP (not tested on Vista).
Pros
Easy to install (but see cons)
Simple User interface
The backups work (I have had to restore files many times)
The disaster recovery works (I have had to recover an entire system using the recovery disc and it worked fine)
Comprehensive options for your backups
Will backup over a home network
Faster than other backup system I have used
Cons
Installing from a previous version is a bit of a pain as it does not uninstall the previous version (this is a tricky problem for backup software but it should be more intelligent than it is).
The help is pretty good but if you are new to backing up your system then you do need to read it carefully so that you get the right type of backup for your needs.

The software runs via a wizard and splits what you want to back up into system related files and folders you may have created. On first encounter the process may seem complex, but viewing a video demo on the Genie web site before using the software will make it all seem very easy. The software does a certain amount automatically. Ticking media files for instance to be backed up makes the software automatically search for Itunes and other music content, which is then backed up. The folder options allow you fine control over what to backup, eg a specific folder used for photos or documents. The software prompts then for the storage location, eg a usb hard drive or CD, and gives the option to compress backed up files. The space saving doing this is modest and preserving the original file seems the safest option. Backed up files are saved in their original format, so if a restore ever went wrong you can access the backed up copy directly using the originating application eg MS Word for a .doc file. The program issues reminders to update previous back ups - a useful feature, though advance scheduling is also possible. The first back up is a complete run of all selected files obviously, taking me some 20 minutes on XP on a 5 year old computer to do some 6000 files and 200MB. I had a glitch due to a corrupted home movie file, which caused the software to halt part way through the backup, but this was solved by moving the file out of the folder being backed up. The backup process was then repeated with no problem. Data integrity can be verified once the back up is complete. After that, updates can be done incrementally, saving only new or changed files, just by setting a preference box. All in all, a first class piece of software for a price that's low anyway and a bargain for peace of mind for important or irreplaceable documents, photos, music files etc.

Fun:
This backup software is relatively easy to install and to use, although the seller directed me to the wrong download so that the licence key didn't work until I realised what was wrong. There is an option to backup on line, but I have not tried this as I prefer to use a removeable hard drive. Preparing for disaster recovery is also straightforward.
It has already saved me a great deal of hassle in allowing recovery of a document I had inadvertently overwritten; backing up isn't just a matter of guarding against disaster!
PS Amazon's software assumes that Genie Backup is a computer game! Please ignore the 'Fun Rating'
