Backing-up home laptop

[Jobos]

What software is best for backing-up a home premium laptop to an external hd. Synctoy or backup and restore centre? Is there any other free software that I should consider?

I use the complete PC Backup that ships with vista(ultimate) to image my c: and the software that came with my maxtor hdd to backup everything else

If either HD is a Seagate or Maxtor, you can use Seagate DiscWizard (an OEM branded version of Acronis TrueImage) for full disk backups.
