What backup software to get?

First let me say this is for my personnal home PC.

I used to use 1Safe to backup my PC everyday and since it offers drive letter access I moved all my large (1GB+) video files to tapes so I could watch them off the tape, now they went bankrupt so I need another program and realize 1Safe was probably the only one with drive letter access so I'll have to live without it.

Here's what I want it to do:
-I want to be able to make 1 full backup, then everyday make an incremental backup that is added to the original full backup, and each version of each file should be kept, so if I decide I want to restore to 3 days ago, I enter the date and it restores from the fullbackup and all the followinf incrementals until 3 days ago

-I tried TapeWare and noticed the stats all stay at 0 if I backup only 1 large file, it seems to measure performance at the end of each file copied so I have no stats available when copiying a large file, I would like one that shows the real transfer rate

-In the event of a crash, I would like to be able to just enter the tape and a startup/recovery floppy and restore all my data including windows without having to first install windows and the restore software

Thanks
