Carbon Copy Cloner, not exactly new, but always being improved. It really is the definitive way to back up your full OS X to another drive. So simple too.

it's a great program
but i couldn't get it to transfer everyting to my hard drive perfectly enough to be able to boot from it. I think this is a problem that has been solved in the most recent update, but i have for some reason been having trouble downloading it

also, i worry about it fully transfering permissions
