I just back up my home folder to an extern disc. I use back-up from .Mac

Then re download Back-up from .Mac to restore

What the best way to Backup iPhoto and mail and to restore after a format

I backed up my entire "Pictures" folder from the finder to a cd-rom. Just drag it back after the format. For mail, try switching your mail to an IMAP provider from Pop. Once you have an imap connection move your folders to the mail server and never go back to using pop again (by default this is already how dotmac mail works).
