If you use Windows Vista, it comes with a straightforward way to backup your files (not the OS) regularly to the HDA.

To use it, go to the Backup and restore Center (Start -> Control Panel -> Backup & Restore):

In it, you can configure settings to make Vista do backups to your HDA daily, weekly or monthly. All you have to specify is that you want to backup to the network, e.g. to \\hda\files\backups.

The first time it will back up all your files. Subsequent backups are incremental: only what changed since last backup is saved.
