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.''
