Personally I use ZenOK Online Backup 2011. and it does pretty good (http://onlinebackup.zenok.com/) So I recommend you using an online backup service copies it runs continuously in the background so you don’t have to remember to backup your files and are inexpensive.

I like SyncToy and Robocopy for this. Backing up is becoming more of an issue for home user with all the media stored on on home computers.

It's been 100% solid. I also keep another HD at my parents' house (200 miles away) for geographic redundancy. Barring an incalculable coincidence or nuclear fallout of the entire Northeast I think my important stuff is pretty well protected. This is mostly family photos, my music collection, and archived email. After evaluating several of the alternatives, I’m using WHS for backups. It’s been 100% solid.
