One of the best unattended backup programs I've used is Second Copy. Once you set it up, it runs when you've set it for, and copies new and changed files, etc..

See if you can find a copy of Backup Exec on eBay.

I would say it kinda depends on what backup device you use.

I believe you can run the included backup software by winxp to backup your computer.

For simpler management, I would suggest looking at veritas backup exec that supports wide array of backup devices.

Good luck

Just ziping the data folder and backing up the metabase will do ?

Agreed with Edwow... Windows XP comes with a backup system and it can be scheduled as well. And since you already have it, it would be free to use.

If the data is super critical, then you may want to look at Veritas Backup Exec like others have prescribed.
