I wrote my own backup app in Applescript "Scotty"
Authored by: tice on Jul 13, '06 10:28:24PM
It is "open source", so if you want to have a look, just test it.

It is not very elegant written, but understands the different OS (from 10.1 - 10.4) and saves all files in folders like "->Library - Preferences".

It also has a log file, so you can see if the backup was successful.

You can choose which apps or files to backup, including:
Addressbook, Safari, Contextual menu items, Mail, iPhoto, iTunes, Screensavers, Quicktime Plugins, Services, PreferencePanes, Fonts, Dashboard, etc.

All "home-directory" stuff can be saved.

Just give it a try, and if you know Applescript you can modify it:
