I've had extremely good lluck with SuperDuper! backing up to a LaCie 
Porsche Design hard drive. As an amusing aside, on those occasions 
where I've saught advice from the Genius Bar at the Apple store I've 
taken the LaCie drive instead of my iMac, booting onto an iMac already 
in the store. If any changes are made it is easy to boot from the LaCie 
drive when I'm home, using SuperDuper! to update the internal drive on 
my iMac.
