Retrospect

Retrospect does do a complete restore onto a blank partition, although not in one easy step...

Starting with a blank partition, you first have to install OS X - up to the version the backup was made at. So, if you were running 10.1.5, you'll need all the updaters to get to that version. Don't bother with all your settings, though - these will get overwritten.

Then install Retrospect.

Now you can do a full restore of your OS X volume. It's a bit long-winded, but it does work, and has been a life-saver on one occasion!
