XP Backup Utility

OK, so no link here, but just wanted to point out that Microsoft XP backup utility is pretty useful. If you launch in advanced mode, choose tools->options, you can exclude file types. If you don't want to type them in one at a time with three clicks in between, you can edit the reg key at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ BackupRestore \ FilesNotToBackup \ NTBackup]. Do one through the interface first, then you can see the format.
