iMac's getting exchanged, what do I use to back up my stuff

Hi!

Got my new iMac yesterday, unfortunately it has a stuck pixel, so I'm gonna exchange it.

I wonder if there's a nifty program that will help me backup EVERYTHING, files, apps, settings etc. Just as when you transfer your old macs stuff to your new one via firewire cable.

I'm using a file server for backup.

Tried CCC but it seems there's somekind of bug that won't let me clone or something.

Anyway, how will it work, when I get my new iMac and then restore from the backup image, will I have two installations of Tiger?

Using SuperDuper! to back up at the moment, should I use that or go with something else?

Thanks

Good!

What I really want to know is how it's going to work when I restore everything.

 

How does that work, when the drive is mounted in a file server in my closet?

 

Would that let me restore program settings etc aswell?

SuperDuper! freezes on me all the time, can't use that to backup.
SuperDuper! does work over a network.

 

Called AppleStore, he said he'd arrange an exchange unit, and let the logistic company that they should pick up my machine. Probably because it's 1 day old.

edesignuk: No, I'm making the image locally to begin with, some permission problems with the file server, app doesn't get write permission, and even if I were creating the image on the file server, I have 1Gbit/s network.

 

Called Apple again.
They'll let me have this one until I receive and transfer all my files to the new one.

Man, I love this company.
