SmartBackup
Be smart - backup different.
SmartBackup is the ideal application to perform all kinds of daily backups to harddrives, network sharepoints, webDAV, usb sticks, iPods etc.
From a smart efficient document backup to a full bootable backup of MacOSX - SmartBackup is very easy to set up and straightforward. The tool supports the use of Spotlights "saved searches" as backup items or to define exclusion which makes creating dynamic backups (all protected iTunes files, all documents changed this week, etc) very simple. SmartBackup optionally archives deleted or changed items during each backup and keeps them sorted in an archive folder.
SmartBackup supports handling of multiple backup sets and can be automated using iCal, Automator or for the unix pros using it´t commandline mode and shellscripts.

It's a great little program. All the benefits of Time Machine, plus the ability to choose exactly what gets backed up. Definitely worth the money, especially if you don't have the space or inclination to back up your entire drive.
Backup for the rest of us! You do not have to be incredibly smart to use it. I found it to be very fast in comparison to alternatives I've used like Silverkeeper or SuperDuper!
Great program. Simple but powerful.
Nothing exceptionally fancy about this program. It works and works very well. One button "sync" and you are all backed up.
Nice flexibility and interface done with a minimalist charm. The program doesn't set out to revolutionize backups, but it does do what it sets out to do: backup your system.
Features to backup your entire install would be valuable as this program seems to concentrate on your profile and not the entire system.
