There is a product called Rewind for the Mac which records the System continuously
All good suggestions but I'd add one more that I consider to be the best... Retrospect. The Desktop version which is for one workstation only is fairly inexpensive and will do full backups to CD and DVD among other media. Backup a whole drive or just critical folders. I bought the full version with a tape drive years ago and it has saved my butt numerous times. Any one of which was worth the cost of the software and drive. Retrospect (Workgroup or server versions) can run on a variety of platforms and backup/restore them all up via a network. You can precisely restore your system to exactly the way it was at any previous backup point. Even the icons on the desktop will be in exactly the same location. I rarely use tape anymore. I backup to external hard drives and keep one stored off site. Retrospect runs unattended and backs up a handful of computers in my office every night. Every few weeks I archive one of those backups to a set of DVD disks. Though I've used Retrospect for full restores; or for moving an entire drive to a new drive or computer; where I use it most often is to find some inadvertently lost or deleted file that's buried in archives months/years old.
