I have used Backup myPC software for windows machines for about 10 or 15
years and through 10 name changes and a half a dozen owners. it is fast, easy,

what is the backup software of choice to run
Yes, most of the *data* you backup from WinXP will transfer to Vista.

Mozy. No fuss, no muss. 2 GB free.
