I've to jump in here..

I use 2 diff versions of backup.. both are HD to HD.

I have my own rsync script that does a 7 days rotation to another Backup
server. (unfortunately it's located side by side.. )

The other method is using mirrordir (which I've read from linuxjournal )
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6564
http://www.geocities.com/scottlhenderson/mirrordir_4_OS_recovery.html
 which does a mirroring like copy.

Works great..

Can be used for your USB HD Backup too satish
