I've been using Silverkeeper since it was new, and am very happy with this newest version. In the past some files in deeply nested folders would not be backed up, but the new version is thorough and graphically well thought out. The GUI now displays what is being back up with file names and icons, and the alert when each volume is finished is helpful. I would recommend this.
Silverkeeper 1.1.4 a keeper - Version: 1.1.4, 12/31/2008 04:53PM PST

Straightforward, fast, shows files/folders being updated as they are copied over. Tried Time Machine several times - the idea quite seductive, but execution too touchy - never knew when it was going to fail. My main problem with Silverkeeper 2.0 is that it will not launch on my iMac core solo duo Leopard. But that is OK, since 1.1.4 works well, even though it says it is only for pre-Leopard. Anyway, very fast, even on USB 2.0, though I mostly use Firewire. Definitely faster t than Superduper and other alternatives to Time Machine. SK requires a bit more intervention than Time Machine, but it works once set up without intervention.

Before 10.5 and Time Machine, I used SK all the time and it backed up my small company' data files every day automatically. It broke under 10.5, which forced me to use TM, which is better anyway, with its multiple, sequential backups (with SK, you only have the most recent b/u).
Just for kicks, I downloaded this update that works under 10.5, and backed up my Docs folder on my Macbook to a HD on another Mac on my home network. It took a while, but worked fine. The complaints that it doesn't make a bootable b/u - not sure if it's supposed to or not. It works great for data b/u, which I think is its intent, ideal for pre 10.5/TM users, or if you don't like TM.
