Martin,

After looking at the suggestions given here, and doing further searches 
on the topic, I have decided to write my own.  Currently I have one 
that, when run as root, will back up any complete subtrees and save 
those as a disk image, preserving permissions and ownership.  I still 
need to add support for incremental backups, and I would like to have 
support for excludes (e.g. don't include my iTunes & iPhoto libraries) 
so it is still a work in progress.

If there is interest, I will post my findings (I have developed a 
rather large collection of backup-related links over the last few days) 
and my backup script once it is completed.
