Get Backup is a freeware backup and disk cloning utility with file/folder synchronization capability.

Encrypted backups available in Pro version allows to prevent unauthorized restore of your financial, personal or other data. Most common encryption standards are supported, AES-128, 256, Blowfish or Triple DES).
Compressed backups reduce the backup archive size using compression tools, restore it on any computer without Get Backup using only system utilities, and much more.
Bootable backups can be created using disk cloning.
Synchronization tool lets you to coincide files and folders from one disk location to another. Two-way synchronization available in Pro version helps keep files up-to-date in two locations, for example your desktop and laptop computers.
Integration with Apple iPhoto, Mail, iTunes and Address Book makes it very easy to access and backup your music, photos, e-mail and address archives.
Scheduling helps to fully automate the backup and synchronization processes, so that backups are built and sync takes place on a regular basis (daily, weekly or monthly). Create different schedules for each backup or sync project. Diverse Backup Methods:

- Full - all selected files are saved, and the resulting archive replaces the previously created one.
- Versioned - all selected files are saved in a new backup archive, and the previous archives remain intact.
- Incremental Pro version - each time a backup is built, only the files that were changed are saved in the new backup archive.

It would be better if # of files, file/folder size, mod date, or some basic info in the Analyze window so that i can make a better decision before the time consuming task.

Using Toast fails, using the built in CD burner is more successful, but there is a lack of feedback about what has failed once things fail, leaving you with no clue as to how to solve the issue... even worse on one backup it stated that it had been successful, when nothing had happened.
I totally support shareware, but this is a definite try before you buy!
It could be something on my system is the issue, but neither myself or their support could see anything.
Shame, as potentially this is very very good indeed.

Completely (a copy of your files), incrementally/regularly (updating only the changed files) and versions of your files (not overwriting the old versions).
I wanted to simply copy some files and later use the incremental backup to only update what has changed.
Unfortunately, it is quite slow. I think I will instead use Super Duper.

So, when Get Backup creates an archive it may take longer to create it first time (depends on the source folder size). But, all future incremental backups will not take long.
For the people who don't need backup file compression, and who have lots of free space available, we will introduce Cloning feature, which will speed up the backup process.

This program is so slow and it crashed or froze up so many times in the middle of a backup, that I have yet to get a complete backup. The last one froze after 48 hrs. It's start all over if your trying to create an image. I just want something simple that works this ain't it!!

Because of my particular backup needs and bad experiences, I am not, at this point, using the actual "backup feature". Rather, I am trying to synchronize a Firewire-attached hard disk drive with my internal SATA drive. Admitting that the external drive is roughly 280 GB it seems unhelpful that the process has taken 24 hours to move 1/4 of the way. Mind you, this is a synchronization where there was nothing in the target, so a simple copy was all that was necessary.
On the plus side, the program hasn't crashed, which I can't say about SilverKeeper.
Unless subsequent copies are considerably faster, however, the slowness (speed seems an inappropriate qualifier) of this program makes it all but useless.
