I have a long list of Projects in my iMovie 10.0 and the focus of this question is about iMovie 10.0 backup files / folders and methodology.
I would like to backup everything so that if I move to a new Mac or if I have to restore after a system failure I will not lose anything of the work I've done (selected clips, project names, etc).
Sadly my external HDD size is identical to the internal one so I cannot use Time Machine (it takes more space than the source).
I am now copying file manually but it is really a time consuming process and I'd hope to be able to use something quicker / more effective.
Can you please suggest the full list of files / folders I should backup and the tool I'd better use?

I was able to achieve the result I wanted using a tool that is available by default in Mac Os X and using the hardware I already have.
I've created a bash script with the following commands:
The rsync command will only copy the different part of the files or the new files changed since the last backup.
For this reason performance is blazing fast.
Then I also made sure that the script is executed automatically at every boot using this tutorial: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6442364/running-script-upon-login-mac
