You have inspired me to backup more regularly Matt! OSX just incorporated "Time Machine" an automated backup program within the OS, but with a laptop it's no more convenient than other methods unless you are permanently connected to a secod hard drive.....

Time machine does not necessarily need an external disk - if you have another mac which you can sort of designate as a server, you can use file sharing and time machine will back itself up by either ethernet or wireless which is very handy, as you have a perfectly backed up laptop without ever needing to plug it in.
