Software to do local backups on Windows 7 Ultimate

[dc2000]

So I thought to start backing up my desktop computer running Windows 7 Ultimate. I got me an external hard drive (1TB in size.) I tried using the built in Backup and Restore that came with Windows but that piece of software is "Microsoft" (i.e. hard to set up and use and constantly gives me issues), so I was wondering is there something that's easy to set up and use for local backups (something like Time Machine in OS X)?

I'm not sure, I did have a problem one time but easlily fixed by turning off backing up the administrator account's library. Other than that, no problems with using Microsoft's Backup.
