I would second that - and in order to determine 'works best' try a
restore... a guy I knew used a free backup program to backup on a daily
basis and everything worked fine until he actually needed to restore, at
which point he discovered that he would have to restore the initial backup
than manually restore each daily backup (over a year's worth) to get his
system restored to the state it was in before the crash.

Instead, he went out and bought a Mac.
