  My company has a 600mb hard drive and a 600mb erasable optical disk.
The hard disk (attached to a MacIIcx) is used as a server for our Mac
network, and the erasable optical (on the same Mac) backs up the hard
drive, provides storage for our graphics library, and emergency
redundancy should the hard drive go down.
  What I'd REALLY like to find is an application that can
automatically backup files from the hard disk to the optical
automatically at preset times of the day, and be able to not only do
whole drive backups, but backup individual files folders and
partitions, so that folders of particularly sensitive and timely
information (we're a newspaper) could be backed up several times a
day, while less sensitive stuff could be backed up daily.
  The program should operate in the background so users can continue
to access the drive while it is running.

  I already happen to have a program that does a good job at the
backing up part of it (lots of apps can handle that), but
unfortunately it has to be manually invoked, and I have better things
to do with my time.
  This type of thing is available as a matter of course on Unix
systems via crontab, surely someone must have come up with the idea
for macs.
