A detailed walkthrough on creating backups using rsync
Authored by: GlowingApple on Apr 18, '05 09:43:33PM

Another method to consider is to use Disk Utility. It has an option to back up your mac to a dmg image. I once backed my laptop up to a samba share and restored using an install on my iPod. Not as scriptable as the above, and certainly not as customizable (it grabs the entire drive), but for a simple backup of the entire works it works well.
