Backup software for Mac OS X

I just installed OS X. I'd like to make a full backup to restore my OS later.

In Windows, I used Windows Backup to do this. What can I use in Mac OS X?

And don't complain if anything doesn't work or if you won't be able to restore. – slhck Sep 26 '11 at 8:08

Buy an external hard drive larger than your internal hard drive with the OS and files. Use Time Machine, the built-in backup solution from Apple.

I do this all the time using superduper. You can clone to any hardrive or partition that is HSF+ formatted and large enough. You can then boot off the copy if the original fails. For a Hackintosh you also need to intall your boot software (I use chameleon) to the hardrive if you want to be able to boot from it.
