I always recommend Retrospect Backup. This backup application is rock 
solid and has saved my bacon several times. I currently back up all 
three Macs in our household with it to two different hard drives and do 
the occasional backup to DVD as well. It backs up everything on a drive 
and can restore individual files or the whole drive.
