Best hard drive backup software

Does anyone know of any good free hard drive backup software?  Ghost isn't free, and all I could find is this shitty thing that can only do a sector-by-sector backup because it doesn't understand NTFS, end result being that I've got a 160 GB hard disk image for a disk whose used space is under three gigs.  Not easy to store away for backup.

So, TIA

What part of "I'm using NTFS" didn't you get?  Last I checked, XP doesn't come with tar.  Plus, that's an extra step, and in this case, an extra step that at least doubles the time I spend doing this shit.

Besides, that's fucking overly complicated bs to just do a simple task.  Not everyone is a fucking linux fag who loves to type a hundred asinine commands every ten minutes just to get anything done.

I guess you'd just rather discuss how you WOULD do it with open source rubbish rather than actually do anything.

Fuck you.  I'm torrenting Ghost.
