I've had much success over the years with Acronis TrueImage as well as ShadowProtect for image-based backup systems. For files, I use CrashPlan with two targets - a couple of drives in my home as well as CrashPlan's cloud (using my own encryption keys) to get files off site.
Having read about ShadowProtect - this seems like the product I'd like to try. I can see that it's possible to download a trial but it is proving difficult to find how to actually purchase it in the UK. It looks like the US site sends out physical product rather than activation keys if you purchase online.
