Default Best backup software?

Ok, I just ordered a 1TB drive that'll be set up as an external for backups. I now need some good, reliable backup software. I don't care if I have to pay for it, it just needs to be good. Really I'll only be doing manual backups, so it doesn't HAVE to have automated settings. Otherwise, I would like it to be able to do incremental backups after the first to save disk space. As well as being able to boot and restore from the CD\DVD incase Windows won't boot. I am runner RAID 0 and the exteral will be conected using eSATA (I don't know if either of those make a difference)

I had used an Acronis trial once before and liked it, but I've read around about it being unreliable, thus this thread.

Tell what you like and why. Thanks.

I've found Acronis True Image to be utterly dependable, especially with raid's.

DIXML is great, running it now infact seems to be working well, creates a FULL backup.

Does it give the option to create incremental backups after the initial full backup?
