Best APP for Back-up?

What APP is best for back-up to SD card?
Preferrably one that does all, rather than individual.
To back-up:SMS, bookmarks, APPS, contacts
Basically so that all can be easily retsored after reset etc.

Have heard of Titanium Back-up, SMS Back-up, MyBackup & Astro File manager.
 
Doesn't Titanium require root? If not, I may have grabbed the wrong app...

FWIW

Yes it does. However, take note that only root backups can save app data (save games for example). Any non root backup will only backup the game itself. Lets say you use unrooted MyBackup Pro and restore on a new phone, your Angry Birds game would not retain whatever stage you are on, but you'd have to start from stage 1 again. You need root to be able to backup your game saves.
 
+ 1 for Titanium Pro. You need to buy the Pro version to use the batch mode but it is totally worth it. You can choose to backup all new installed apps, all updated apps, or redo a programmed backup of everything (incl. all data and system data). You can apply filters, so for example after flashing a new ROM you can restore only the apps and data you want (by applying a filter) without having to delete the apps you do not want at the moment, and you can still keep them for later restore. Also when an app gets corrupted you can restore only that specific app with or without the data. Etc etc
