DiskFit allows you to exclude applications and system files from a Backup.
Retrospect would be another possibility, since you can build custom
selection criteria to back up exactly what you want and avoid the rest.
Redux also (I believe, I've never used it) allows that.

One nice thing about Retrospect is that you can define a backup script that
it will fire up and run automatically for you unattended (assuming the
backup media doesn't require your attention). Plug in a tape, go to bed and
it'll run, back up the system and shut it off for you.
