Being an old hacker from way back, I use a batch file with a bunch of xcopy commands corresponding to each subdirectory I wish to back up. I use an external hard drive as the media. I usually run it manually after my weekly virus scan completes.

Crude but effective. I may migrate to Robocopy one of these days.
