Looking for options to set up on wife's computer can easily add an external HD to back up to. Looking for fully automated software as its wife PC and I just want it to work, back up HD image's would be nice (maybe monthly) with back up file storage daily.

Anyone have recommended software options?

A lot of the external hard drives come with backup software that should let you do what you need.

I use Crashplan to back up to a shared NAS drive on our computers. The mrs' macbook, my dell and the kids' laptops. You can also back up to their cloud but incurs a subscription cost.

They've since changed their pricing plans, which I'm not sure if it affects their non-subscription users, so I'm not sure what I'll use going forward.

Will be watching this thread.

Microsoft already has a fairly robust backup and restore options using System Restore for system level stuff and Volume Shadow Copy for file level stuff. Therefore, you can just save restore points and volume shadow copies both internally... and externally for redundancy.
