I basically have 10 GB of music, 5 GB of pictures and 1 GB of documents
plus a couple of folders on my Desktop (containing downloads) that I
would like to be able to backup. I have a restore CD to restore to
factory settings...it's my data I'm worried about.

Vista doesn't let me select the files and folders I want.

I don't want to spend a lot of $$ but I do want easy backup and restore.

What are my best options?

Consider investing in a good external drive.

I've used Acronis True Image and Novabackup with good results.

Be aware of the following of Novastore:
" NovaBACKUP does not currently support Disaster Recovery for Windows
Vista. "

Good point. I didn't know that. I assume you can reinstall Vista, install
Novabackup, then restore from there.

possible , hope it will do the trick for you.

I'm using Mozy. It also gives you 2 gigs free.

Do a google search *online backup & reviews*. I found it interesting
