Doing Backups With Windows Function

One of the consistent questions, as a result of an article on doing computer backups, is one that asks which third party software program I would recommend. The answer is that I can’t recommend any because what Microsoft supplies with Windows is fine for me. I don’t see the need to spend money on additional software when the backup function that Microsoft supplies is perfectly adequate.
For example, in Windows XP, the backup function can be found at:
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools and then Backup
Ed Bott has an excellent presentation in a 2003 article:

Third party software may have added features - perhaps users of those programs can add some comments. However, Microsoft has made it easy to do backups and that is all that I have had to use. It just works well for me.
