Look for a program called Newer.  I think it was specifically written for
situations like you describe.  I use it to backup to a SyQuest, and it works
great.  It doesn't do file compression, it makes the backup disk FInder-
readable, i.e. it is just an image of your source disk.  And, of course,
every subsequent time you run it it only copies files that have changed
since the previous run.  It never deletes files from the backup disk, even
if you delete some files from the source disk.  It seems to me to be 
reasonably fast and reliable, although the user-interface can be a bit
hard to figure out at first.

If you can't find it at an ftp site or through some other source, email
me and I'll try to send it to you.
