I'm using the WindowsXP backup ntbackup.exe.  In rotation, I do a full
backup of one and incremental backups of the other two: D-disc, C-disc
excluding Windows, C-disc Windows only.  I do this weekly along with a
full backup of my system state.

A full backup of my D-disc (mostly data) is 2 GB.  A full backup of my
C-disc (mostly software) without Windows is 3.9-4.0 GB.  Windows is 4.4
GB.  The system state is 1.1 GB.  I let this run while eating dinner,
usually on Tuesdays.
