I plug in my external 500GB HD every now & then & drag 'n' drop all the important folders.

enchntr:

I've backed up my MAME directory to my NAS, which is then replicated to another NAS.

Now to just get an offsite backup.  Although, it would probably be a good idea for me to get a bare metal backup of the system.

RobbyMac:

I just do a mirror backup using xcopy and task scheduler to my fileserver once in a great while.

retrometro:

I use robocopy to another computer on the network as well as to a second internal hdd.  Robocopy like rsync can be setup to copy just the files that change.

Same here with all of my backups. When it comes to backing up via xcopy to a NAS (IE my fileserver), I generally do a network mapped drive on the computer (say to drive letter Z) for where I want it to go. Then I write a batch file with something along the lines of "xcopy c:\blah\ z:\ /d /e /v /i /c /y /f" to do the work.

Not quite as easy as clicking on options, but much more configurable.
