I do daily incremental backups every night and a full backup once a week
to an external HDD. And in real-time I backup to a second computer on
a simple home network. The utility I use is SYNCBACK SE from 2brightsparks.
The program has been mentioned here before. Works great and has saved
my butt a number of times. It does many great things but for me the
learning
curve was quite steep. YMMV.
Just my $0.02

} I don' think DX4WIN backs up the .CFG file (maybe it should). If I
} make config changes, I write a new DX4WIN.INI file before "Save and

} Now having said that, DX4WIN does save DX4WIN.CFG every time it exits
} (and renames the old one to DX4WIN.~FG). Because it does that, it

} secondary backup.
