There is a Mac HD backup program called "Redux" that may be what you are
looking for.  It allows you to check/uncheck folders and files to be backed
up, and will remember how you set it up from session to session.

I just bought Redux, though I have not had a chance to try it yet...

Also, I believe that it will only ask for floppies that it needs during a
backup, and it will (for certain) delete old versions of files during a backup
so as to not require and forever increasing numbers of floppies for backups.

(Redux is from Microseeds Publishing, Inc., and I have no connection woth
them.)
