Keep in mind that you're only backing up DATA, not doing some kind of image of the OS.
When the **** hits the fan, you get to the point of reinstalling windows (so replace the disk, or just wipe and reinstall the os, whatever), install the backup drive software, and restore your data back to the hard drive, then reconfigure the backups. It's pretty slick.

That reminds me of the guy that was showing off his new desktop background and forgot to delete the "******* ****" folder off his desktop.

300 gigs = 1 full backup and 6 nightly incrementals. And it's not filled up.
