Default Simple/free/cheap back up software

Been using vista back up software and (unless its me) it just seems to create MASSIVE files over time.

i want a simple option that will copy files in my docs to an external HD and keep maybe 3 old copies before wiping them.

also - i switch HD once a week (i rotate 3) so dont want that to confuse the software (vista gets very confused that the HD is a new one each time)

any options?

cheap options, Windows backup (as you've been using) or even scripts.

Hard disk drive cloning and image backup software: computer files and disk copy

for home use the above is rated very highly, ghost is another option, but the home version I dont think is as good as acronis.

For backing up entire machines, corporate version of ghost is king
