You can browse and download a good selection of open source (free) software at the sourceforge website:

'fwbackups' will probably fit the bill0 -

If your external hard drive has a Seagate or Maxtor Hard Drive installed, go to the Seagate / Maxtor Website for a free copy of a cut down version of Acronis TrueImage, it only works with Seagate or Maxtor drives.0

Acronis TrueImage is great (although I had to pay for my copy). An alternative to drive imaging software would be something like FreeFileSync, which synchronises a pair of folders across a network.0

I bought a Verbatim External 500gb HDD and got Nero Backup preloaded.0
