We have the backup utility that came with our DataFrame hard disk
drive. It is called "DiskFit" and is a fantastic product.
It works by creating a "smart set" of backup diskettes. This
contains an up-to-the minute image of your hard disk, as daily
backups directly manipulate only those portions of the "smart-set"
that have been changed since your last backup.  There is no need
for "incremental" backups disks. The daily(weekly or whatever) backup
operation normally only takes a few minutes.

The version that we have only works on the DataFrame, but SuperMac
(the makers of the DataFrame) markets a version that works on
any generic disk drive. I think it costs around $50.
