I have a package of disk utilities for my Macintosh
called MacTools Deluxe ver 1.1. It includes a backup
(and restore) program, as well as others that cover
hard disk recovery, security, and optimization. The
backup program meets all of your specifications.
I am quite pleased with the package as a whole.
I think that this (commercial) package goes for about
$80 in the catalogs and discount stores.
