Yes, most of the *data* you backup from WinXP will transfer to Vista. At least, I can't think of any that won't.
If you're actually asking if *programs* will transfer, then no, most won't - they'll need to be installed in Vista. If you're just backing up personal data, you want Jungle Disk. If you want to be able to restore your whole C: drive at a moment's notice you need to image. http://www.jungledisk.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_image Programs like BackupMyPC are very much yesterday's news, and have no place in a good backup strategy in 2008.
