Is there a comparable automatic back-up system to Time Machine for 10.4.11?

My dad has 10.4.11 running on a G4 tower.


I want to get him a back-up system that will save all his work. I myself have an Intel Mac running 10.6.8, with Time Machine saving all of my work to an external HD.


I know you can't use Time Machine with 10.4.11 Is there a comparable back-up system to TM that does automatic back-ups for 10.4.11?


(One other note--he still maintains Classic OS 9 on his system as well as 10.4.11. Will the back-up device also back up whatever he has on OS 9 as well as 10.4.11? And does it also back up the actual system software--the OSs 10.4.11 and 9--as well as all the files? So if he needed the backups, he would not need the system discs?)


Thanks for your help!

I'm sure Tr-Backup 5.1.7 will do everything you want, & far more that TM...
