I'm confused. I've plowed through the documentation but there are just too many options/ways to backup. I don't know what is right for me.

I am a home user with latest version installed. I use backup primarily as a catastrophic recovery and file recovery maybe a couple of times a year. Graphic/multimedia is a hobby and I'm addicted to software that I use with it - I have Lots - and lots of media files. Right now I have a drive backup (C), a Partition backup (C) and a System backup. Do I need all these? How should I set up backups? I use an external 500 gig HD for backup of my 320 HD computer.

(It would be nice to have some "setup presets" to choose from. List some predetermined situation (home user, home office, small business, etc.) with some detail info which when selected automatically sets up the right backup config for the user.)

I would do a full backup and then set it to do incrementals. The frequency of the incrementals would depend on how often you are creating new files. I have mine setup to do a backup every night at 17:30.
