external drive backup

I purchased an external USB Hard Drive. Can I make a backup of my existing hard drive to the external drive? I have looked at several backup programs and none offers that option. Thanks.
Have XP, 512MB and a PIII processor.

I second the vote for Ghost. It lets you back up and restore to/from pretty much any drive.
