I've tried nearly every backup program for the Mac at this point.  There are no
good shareware or public domain ones that I'm aware of.

DiskFit is a pretty good one for simple backup to floppies.

The best all around program (my personal opinion) is Retrospect.  It can handle
industrial strength backups of individual machines and workgroups.  It can do
backups to nearly every media available for the Mac.  Yes it's expensive, but
if you value your data, it's worth it -- my backups have saved me on numerous
occasions :).
