    Free backup software for Windows 7?

    What are some free backup software for Windows 7 Pro x64? I realize that Windows 7 has its own backup feature. However, it does not allow for incremental backups so I can select which backup to restore and the backup files themselves don't even show up in Windows Explorer though it clearly indicates that the space is being used on the external harddrive I chose to backup to.

    I have Acronis True Image Home 11 but I have read that this doesn't work properly with Windows 7. Is this true?

    That's strange that it doesn't allow incremental backups. SyncToy for winXP did...

    Are you sure? Try reading the help file for windows backup and you'll know how to do incremental backups.
