I use Tri-Backup 4  for backing up to a file
server as well as locally, and then burn the local stuff to disc. I
especially like the Incremental and Evolutive modes that keeps successive
versions of files. The price is $49 and they have multiplepack pricing too.
The only downside is that it doesn't directly support writing to CD/DVD.
I just asked them if they are going to incorporate it in the future.

Auto back-up program recommendations

[Bruce Ryan]

HI Amber
Can anybody suggest a reliable auto back-up program or Applescript for
OS X apps ?
I use SilverKeeper (freeware from LaCie: 
http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/). It has options to:
* back up various sets of folders or complete disks
* automatic and manual backups
and is available in OS9 and OSX versions. As with any backup 
software, the first backup will be slow cos it's copying everything. 
Thereafter, it only copies files which have changed since the last 
backup

So far (over a year into using it), no problems.
Bruce

I highly recommend SuperDuper!.  It's the best backup app that I've 
tried, and the best part is that you can customize it in a million 
different ways.  I've been using it for about 8 mos. and it hasn't let 
me down yet.  Starting in version 1.5, they include an AppleScript to 
run a fully automated daily backup.  It's worth the $19.95.

I am regularly adding new photos to iPhoto, as well as many new 
entries to iCal and my address book.   I would really like to have a 
program/script that would automatically back up the new additions on a 
daily basis at a certain time.
I use Apple's Backup to backup to an external FW drive. Works great. I 
think you have to be a .mac member to get it though.

Auto back-up program recommendations ?

[Amber]

Can anybody suggest a reliable auto back-up program or Applescript for 
OS X apps ?
I am regularly adding new photos to iPhoto, as well as many new entries 
to iCal and my address book.   I would really like to have a 
program/script that would automatically back up the new additions on a 
daily basis at a certain time.

Thanks,
Amber
