I use a combination of SuperDuper (for complete cloning) and ChronoSync (for incremental file updates).

Please search. This question has been asked 10,000 times or more here.

SuperDuper me also. Firstly I just wanted to clone my HD, not only for peace of mind but for defrag it after several months of intense, heavy use. SuperDuper does that for free. Later I realized I would like to do incremental & scheduled backups, so far the license was worth every penny, not to mention you get from the developer the best support you can think about.

SuperDuper!
