The built in Backup utility in windows 7 seems to be accessible. I used 
it in Windows XP, and I just brought it up in Windows 7, and it still 
seems to be accessible. Assuming it's only gotten better since Windows 
XP, it's a surprisingly powerful backup solution allowing you to 
schedule your backups and use incremental or differential backups. 
Depending on what requirements you have for a backup program, this might 
meet your needs.
