I've tried Retrospect, and found it reasonable and usable.  It may also be
worthwhile to check out Fastback II from 5th Generation Systems.  For
individual back-ups, it's the quickest program I've ever seen (at least 
when backing up to a tape drive).  It not only backs up quickly, but it
includes automatic data compression.  I was able to back up 150MB of data
in 85 minutes on >two< 40MB tape cartridges!

I'm uncertain as to whether Fastback II does archives as well as normal
backups, but the speed of the program is its a main selling point.
