I want to do backup of everything,
incremental backups from week to week,
then be able to
1. recover an individual file
2. restore everything in the event of a
total hard drive replacement :-(



For example, I have external USB2 hard drives,
but what is the best software to use?

ATI or Ghost,
I use ATI v10, and it will do everything that you listed plus a lot more.

Best is a matter of opinion. My opinion is Acronis True Image.
 
I've used Genie Backup Manager for the last 3-4 years, it does full,
differential & incremental backup, latest version has a disaster recovery
facility.

Backups to optical drives, tape, USB drives, FTP servers and online backup
servers, handles open files via shadowing copying (on Vista it uses it's
shadow copying). Can be easily integrated with things like maxtor one-touch
drives

Support is better than average with response to problems < 24 hgours (I am
in Australia).
