I am looking to back up my pictures and MP3's to DVD. I want to be able to do this on a regular basis. I am looking for a good free program to do this.

I need it to do 1 thing, but would like it to be able to do a few otheres.

What I need it to do.
1. Back up my Music and Pictures.

What I want it to do also.
1. Be able to Date the backup and know what needs to be backed up from the last backup. I do not want to have to have it backup EVERYTHING multiple times.

2. Be able to back up only certain things and not always a FULL SYSTEM. Basically be able to backup my MP3's on one set, PICTURES on another...

What if anything have you guys used?

Thanks

You're using Windows? If so, I couldn't tell you. If not, maybe I can help. If you have an old box laying around and want to throw linux on it to back up the windows box, I can help with that. Windows kind of sucks for this I understand without paying an arm and a leg.
In the mean time, try sourceforge.net and freshmeat.net. Look for "backup" and maybe you'll find something. In Linux, I'd just write a script that finds whatever files (based on names or last modified date) and run a job (daily, weekly, every couple days---whenever) that executes the script.
