Job?!  (BTW, when will we see a Mac version of Accell? ;-)

I also rely on DiskFit; it works quite well, and I've had few problems with it
(the only one I've had was caused by Fresh Start, which I subsequently ditched
because it caused problems with other programs as well).  I've had to restore
things, too, which I dreaded, but it went without a hitch.  And its ability to
repair damaged backups (missing or unreadable disks) is very useful.

...although I may be moving to Retrospect eventually, since I've got a lead on
some potentially cheap Archive SCSI 150MB tape drives which don't appear to be
supported by DiskFit.  (Oh, well.  But since both Retrospect and DiskFit are
from Dantz Development, I'd look on it as an upgrade.)
