Joseph - there is an option (that I use) in Software Update to 
download the software to your desktop for later installation.  These 
I keep on my software partition.  Note that for all software that has 
been installed, the .PKG is to be found in the Library, if you ever 
need to use it again.

For actual backup, I run a daily incremental backup of my X partition 
to an external hard disk, and a weekly incremental backup of my whole 
hard disk to this external hard disk.

I use Retrospect Remote, running two scripts for these actions: one 
for daily, one for weekly, backup, all to the same backup file.
