Windows Internal Backup Application

Server 2008 has a really nice, efficient, and simple built-in backup application. One of the great things about it is that it creates a de-duplicated backup, meaning it doesn't backup unchanged files. It does have some limitations in that the scheduled backups aren't available to a network drive (only a physically attached drive).

One work-around is to use the command line tools and enable the task scheduler. A good write-up on the process is here.
