For backups I use a wonderful (free as in beer) program called XXCLONE (www.xxclone.com). The program does a complete backup of your installation to any other partition or hard drive and then makes it bootable. I use it with a 60 gig laptop drive I got on eBay I put in an external enclosure. This way if my internal drive eats it, all I have to do is swap the drives out. It works like a charm, I've had the pleasure of using it before when migrating from a 20 gig drive to a new 60 gig one - it is literally a two click process.
