XP Pro does, but XP home doesn't, it has to be installed separately (off
a Pro disk IIRC).

You can use the 'Restore' feature in Disk Utility to make manual backups
of a disk, or save to a disk image. I think this feature appeared in
Tiger.

Otherwise there's SuperDuper, which does all sorts of backups. However,
I haven't had much luck using it for a complete bootable clone lately.

You can also try CarbonCopyCloner, which also does scheduling now, but
also doesn't seem reliable.

Or you can use 'Backup', but you need a .Mac account to use it. I use
this myself, and although it isn't perfect, does seem to be about the
best backup utility there is at the moment - IMHO.
