Home backup software?

[mwiner]

In light of a hard drive failure (drive is in the freezer now) of my sister's computer I have decided I needed a better way to back stuff up. I have my important stuff backed up on other machines, etc. But I need a way for the rest of my family to automatically back stuff up.

I know there is tons of software out there to do this. I am even willing to spend money on software. I am looking to do automated scheduled backups or simple file copies probably just incremental to a network share. I know I could setup a batch file and schedule it that way... but something that I could talk my father through if I was 1000 miles away would make things easier. Nothing too fancy. But something that can give me options.

Any recommendations or solutions?

Thanks!
