While we're on the subject of backups... if you have another Linux
box sitting around with enough space, I recommend rdiff-backup.  It
keeps nice incremental backups of your data.  You can do it all over
a SAMBA mount too, so you don't need any tools to run on your Windows
box to do the backups.

Not that I would encourage anyone to continue using ``that OS which
shall not be named here.''
