If you have an external drive, you can buy Acronis True Image ($40 or less) and schedule it. This will not be a mirror, it will be images. You can do full, incremental, and/or differential images. Buy the boxed version, the CD is bootable and can be used for a "bare metal" restore.

The way I recommend you handle it is this - do a full image manually. Then set up a daily differential image. When the differentials start getting pretty big, delete the old images and start the cycle over. To do a complete "bare metal" restore, you restore the most recent full image, followed by the most recent differential.

All images can be mounted and explored if you need to get at specific files.
