Glen Bredon's Prosel-16 does full backups, incremental backups, and supports
backups by script (allowing you to specify only certain subdirectories, 
files, etc.  It also allows for selective restores.  With its support of
extended files (aka resources forks) and error checking capability, it is
IMHO, the best 60 bucks I ever spent.  (BTW, the newest version is v8.0)

One thing I would like to see is a catalog disk feature that knows on which
backup disk a particular file resides.  (i.e.  restore Appleworks.GS and the
application prompts you for /BU.14, instead of searching for the disk with
the file you want.) 

One happy customer.
