I use Time Machine on my macs; however, my wife's work removes Time Machine from their Macs so we've been using Chronosync to sync her homedir to a local disk image which seems to work really well even when she's at the office. I then copy off the disk image to a separate system at home -- though this reminds me I need to switch that to an rsync script since Chronosync sees the disk image as one file, not a directory full of files. Coupled with the occasional Carbon Copy Cloner her machine is fairly well protected. I'll also thumbs-up Chronosync's support, they're nice folks and you get upgrades for life.
