You may not need them, but Retrospect has several important features
that Backup My PC doesn't have, including cross-platform network
backup and backup to a tape drive. I've been using Retrospect to
backup my Macs for 12 years. Twice during that time I've had a hard
drive die on me, and both times I was able to do a complete restore.
