Hello. I'm very bored of trying to get XP's built-in back-up to work how I want it to (which is not complex). So does anyone have any advice they can share as to a good all round, simple, back-up utility.

Preferably freeware.

I don't run passwords on my PCs (Windows back-up doesn't like me for that)

I would like to plonk a CD-R in my 'server' (I use quotes, 'cos it's just an old PC with a big second hard drive in that is shared with other PCs in the workgroup)

I only want a single folder with an important database and its associated files in it backed-up, and want to get it running in schedulled tasks once a month.

Any help you can give will be gratefully rep'd.
