Maybe Apple Backup can do this but I'm looking for a backup program to backup my entire iMac HD (only 40-60GB used) to an external, 320GB FW hard drive. I need the program to OVERWRITE all but the most recent backup. In other words, archive one backup, create a new one (thus I have 2 in case of problems with one) and THAT IS IT. NO MORE HOGGING MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE SPACE!!

Which program should I be looking at?
Mac Mini C2D 1.83/1/80/10.5.5
iMac G4 20" Superdrive 1.25/1.25/80/10.4.9
iBook G4 12" 1.33/512/40/10.4.9
iPod Video 30GB / Shure e4c Earbuds
