Try looking in the help. These sort of applications usually have pretty good FAQs and 'how to' guides.

If not, Norton Ghost, Acronis Trueimage are the best ones..

This is the nearest free equivalent..

I use Nero backitup, though personally I only use it to back up data. This means my weekly backup fits neatly onto a single rewritable dvd. I have 3 disks which I rotate weekly so I always have 3 backup versions to hand.

For me the process was basically to sit down and work out which directories I needed to back up. I came up with 3 categories:

1. Things I didn't need to back up at all - e.g. programs - these can always be downloaded / reinstalled.

2. Things which I only needed to back up once - e.g. my music collection / videos.

3. Things which I needed to back up regularly:
e.g. My firefox profile, My thunderbird profile, My desktop, Documents etc.

So its only the files in category 3 (i.e. my data) which I need to back up regularly.

It means that my backup process is simple enough that I actually do it (most weeks anyway), which is the main thing.
