Retrospect
I backup with Retrospect. I find it a frustrating experience, but as of now, no other piece of software will do what I need it to do, except for Retrospect. Currently I run 6.0 at work and 5.1 at home. I run 5.1 at home because I have not gotten around to upgrading it, and it seems to be running OK. My most recent frustrating experience occured when I tried to backup to CD-Rs with my g5's superdrive. Since it can use DVD-Rs, I assumed incorrectly that it can also backup to CD-Rs. Retrospect will only reliable backup to DVD-Rs with this drive. The new g5s that have come out have LG made superdrives instead of the Pioneer superdrive. The LG drives are not yet supported by Retrospect.
Retrospect allows for custom filters including filtering based on "color-label". This is not yet supported by BRU, but its in the works. Maybe if BRU gets its act together and makes a nice Mac interface that supports color-labels, I will give it a go. It is so nice to exlude all blue items and include all red items regardless of their location.
