backup tools review
Backup timer 1.0
Backup timer backs up a folder daily more>>
This script is a timed applescript that stays open where it checks the time once an hour and when it corresponds to the hour designated in the script, executes a duplicate command where a folder of files to be backed up is copied to a folder named for that day.
The folder is backed up daily (from Monday to Friday). The script runs within a time range, gives a voice warning, mounts a volume, duplicates a specified folder to a folder that matches the day of the week with a timeout command, ejects the volume and quits.
The script should be saved as an application and should always be running.

backup 1.0
backup is a professional and complete package which provides unattended backups for MacOS. more>>
backup 1.0 is a professional and complete package which provides unattended backups for MacOS. When used on MacOS 10.4 (Tiger), it will generate appropriately-sized, tar-format archives, including the resource forks, in dated, sequentially-numbered burn folders on the user's Desktop, ready to burn to DVDs or CDs. (With MacOS 10.2-3, the ready-to-burn archives will not include the resource fork, and will be in folders with the suffix .fpbf).
If you have enough disk space, you can back-up your entire system. You can optionally back-up only files newer than a specified date for incremental back-ups. If you are short of disk space, you can use the -m option to manually burn each volume.
The default paths to back-up are configured into the script, so usage for regular back-ups is simply backup in a terminal, or you can double-click backup in the Finder. Optionally, the paths to back-up and various options can be specified on the command line.
Backup Mail 1.2
Backup Mail - Backup manager for Eudora more>>
It moves any messages it finds to a designated mailbox "BackupMailbox."
Any mailboxes listed in the Exclude property are not checked, and this may be confirmed because the windows of unchecked mailboxes are not closed by the script. This allows the user to easily move any desired messages to the backup folder manually. I exclude "In" because the vast majority of my mail gets filtered, and "In" usually contains on-going conversations with people or messages I want to keep available.
Completly freeware.

You could configure iCal to create backups automatically with a little help from AppleScript. This script will backup iCal when run. You can create alarms in iCal to run scripts. To configure iCal to back itself up every day, create a repeating alarm in iCal that runs this script.
