Backing up files... (not using MS BACKUP)

I've been using the ms backup program for a while now. I started using it when I was running on a version of xp licensed from my school. I was able to get several licenses for xp from my school and ended up reformatting with the xp sp2 version they were offering.

I've been using the ms backup program for a while now. I started using it when I was running on a version of xp licensed from my school. I was able to get several licenses for xp from my school and ended up reformatting with the xp sp2 version they were offering. I had a problem and lost a bunch of data and when I went to get it from the backup file and it would not work because I wasn't on the same install of xp. I don't want to EVER run into this problem again. I would love a program that allows me to schedule an update every week. A rolling update would be nice so I don't have to delete my previous update before I make a new on (because I don't have enough space to make 2 at once)
 
Thanks

I have used Symantec Ghost and Acronis True Image.
 
I know True Image can schedule regular backups and I think Ghost can too.
