   backup for windows pc?

   Whatcha all Windows users using for backup up your main PCs?   
      
   I'd like to backup most of my files, but I have less than 15GB     
   space free on a 250GB HDD. Can't add an extra HDD/SDD or     
   replace the existing HDD at the moment (PC is a bit hard to     
   access).   
      
   The goal is to send the files to an offsite server, automated.     
   But I am not interested in paying for a VPS for that.  I'd like     
   to encrypt the files myself and upload a bundle.   
      
   I experimented with 7Zip and gpg, but found out that 7zip     
   doesn't support pipes.   
      
   Is there another rudimentary grassroots way to achieve this?   
      
   Since gpg can only input one file at a time, I was thinking of     
   building a FOR loop to create a gpg encrypted version for each     
   file and pipe that to Winscp.   
      
   This is for a Win7 environment, BTW.
