You can do backups on the Mac, it is a fairly standard Unix feature I think. There is 3rd party back up software for the Mac, you might want to check with Plod or Safari.

This should answer your question

Do you use image backups at all winmacguy? Does OS X include anything to do it?

Cheers if anyone knows. If anyone has suggestions for Mac image backups, it would help too.

...... I guess I just want to know how durable these laptops are, and if I look after it, should it last me 2-3 years?

If you look after your gear 2-3 years is not a long time. My current PC is a 2nd hand IBM T22 ThinkPad from about 2001 and is still in top order!
