I use EMC retrospect for backups. It lets you restore individual files (even keeps multiple old versions) as well as the whole system, and allows you to verify the integrity of your backups.
I also use a RAID array for my critical stuff to protect against disk disasters.
For full system / OS disk images I use Paragon Partition Manager.

Sympathy, I thought Acronis was rock solid too. But I only ever use it to clone disks or to restore full disk images.

Update
It probably wasn't that file that corrupted the TIB file.
It was probably the hard drive that it did it. The problem is that research says that while Acronis is great for imaging the whole disk, it's unreliable for straight backups. And it doesn't skip dodgy files, it just says the whole backup is corrupt.
Acronis forums log this problem and People have recommended - Karen's Rep for backup purposes, and I'll probably download and use that (unless someone else has another suggestion.)
So one corrupt TIB, one TIB that Acronis tells me isn't an archive and one unstable bit of software that I thought was solid.
All in all a very dispiriting week.
