OSX migration question

I have a mac mini that I'd like to get a new hard drive for. I would like to be able to exactly transfer the contents of my current drive onto the new one. I don't want to have to re-install osx and all the applications, so is there a program you can recommend that will allow me to clone to an external drive then clone back to the new drive with everything still working? thank you.

Wouldn't Time Machine work (or are you running 10.4 on the mac mini?).

I highly recommend Time Machine (just use a dedicated external usb hard drive)

I don't have Time Machine running, so it looks like I'll go with Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old drive onto the new one. I'd like to get it at the bit level as opposed to the file level as this seems like the way to make the most accurate, functional copy. Hopefully I won't break the mini when I open it up. This is actually a pretty nice little computer. Thanks.
