I have been using Retrospect from Dantz for about 15 years, from the  
days of my IIfx through my 3400c to my Ti-500 to my current Al-book  
1.25 running 10.4.8, for DAILY backup.

I also swear by DiskWarrior.....


For my backup, I have an external LaCie 250 Gb FW800 disk,  
partitioned in to 2 equal volumes.
Volume 1 has OS X installed.

Each volume contains a copy of Retrospect, (together with its serial  
number), Disk Utility, etc.
I keep the catalogue files on the target volume.

I run an incremental daily backup to Volume 1, when it is full, I  
change to Volume 2.  When that is full, I do a re-cycle backup on  
Volume 1.

I also run another backup - not EVERY day -  to a 100 Gb internal  
drive mounted in a Momobay FW400 case.

I hope that helps you with your conversion to a true believer.
