Are there any Open Source Software for backing up my documents onto a hard drive at a certain time every day?

I recently bought a new external hard drive after my old one crashed. My old one came with a program that would automatically back up my files at a certain time every day. My new hard drive came with a few programs like that one – but they all cost money. I was wondering if there were any Open Source or free programs that I could download to use.

How to transfer everything except my OS to a new hard drive?

I currently have a 30gb SCSI drive in my computer and want to get a 160gb SATA drive. I want to transfer all of my files and settings except for the OS, to make the computer run smoother. Is there a way to leave only the OS on this old drive and to move all other things including settings and stuff to the new drive? Is it possible to just see the drive in Windows (xp pro) and drag the old one to the new one?
