As always, we dedicated DiskFit owners suggest... DiskFit!  It's the best, and
if you back up frequently, probably faster than programs like FastBack that
do weird things with your drives and write non-standard files.  Also, great
tech support (I say this for SuperMac in general -- I've never had a problem
with DiskFit).  Give it a try.
