Concur!

Acronis is the best home solution in my books... can't beat the imaging method.

Or you can buy a Western Digital Passport drive and it's included backup software is pretty decent as well. It's very granular... You can retrieve individual e-mails if you are using MS Outlook.

I've used Backup Exec for 10+ years for corporate servers and am not a big fan it since Symantec bought it out... It works well but it is cumbersome.

In the past 6 months, we have been using BackupAssist for corporate server backups and it works very, very well with external hard drives. For home use, it is too expensive @ $249 USD
