Deja Vu 3.2 offers a quick, easy backup functions

Propaganda Productions today announced the release of Deja Vu 3.2, offering a new approach to file backups. Deja Vu is a preference pane designed to perform scheduled or manual backups of folders or create a bootable clone of an entire system. Version 3.2 offers the choice of a custom location for the "Safety Net" folder, tooltips showing the full path for items in the "what" and "where" columns, lower priority backups to improve system responsiveness, and numerous bugfixes. Deja Vu requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later and is available for $25.

I highly recommend Deja Vu to anyone who needs a simple back up solution to other hard disks. I have been using it since Jaguar and it has never failed me. The price cannot be beat.

If it had the ability to exclude folders it would be fantastic. It does not, so it's good for the price. From the FAQ:

Is it possible to exclude certain folders from being backed up?

Not directly, no. (The underlying command-line tool doesn't support folder exclusions.) Certain things like cache files are already excluded from the backup. If you have other folders you'd prefer to skip (maybe large folders like your 'Music' or 'Movies' folders), one thing you can do is move these folders to another volume, and replace them with aliases in your Home folder. In this case, you will only get a backup of the alias itself, rather than a backup of the original folder it points to.
