normal, daily, incremental etc backups

I am a basic user and want to securely back up my data.

My system is  Dell Dimension 4700C / Windows XP sp3. I am using the Windows Back up utility.

Which kind of back up should I use for routine scheduled backups -  normal, daily, copy, incremental or differential.

I am at a loss to discern which is more appropriate.

Thank you very much.

    I myself use normal backups. And its good enough for me. I think its the best choice for normal usage.

    Thank you for the reply BESTIS 1980.

    I just want to be sure that I'm using the most efficient resource. It takes some time to back up all the data I want to and if I don't have to do that every time, it would be a help. That's why I was trying to see what's the difference between the 5 types available on the Windows backup utility.

    Thanks again.
