You might want to give SuperDuper a look. I can do a full mirror backup of
my 80G Powerbook drive in less then 15 minutes! I can then do incremental
backups before I have a chance to go and pour myself a refill of coffee! It
is without a doubt the fastest backup software around, but it isn't free
like CCC.
