Best / cheapest way to automatically back up a Windows PC?

I have this computer running XP that really needs an automated back up. Like bad. The ideal solution would be something like Apple's Time Machine which finds all the changed files and only copies those to the backup, but we can't replace it with a Mac.
The other thing I need it do is run some scripts every backup. Specifically, this computer has a critically important MySQL database on it, and I want to run a mysqldump of it every so often (some of the tables are InnoDB and just backing up the data folder doesn't seem to work). Easy on Unix with a bash script, but what do I have to do in Windows? A batch file or something?

You can even do this hot to avoid downing the database.
