Wow!  for less than $129, you can install a second HD and use something like ChronoSync (shareware) to back up as much of the contents as you want (directory-by-directory) in the still of the night.  Or CarbonCopyCloner to completely clone the disk.  --Steve

RB 6.0.204 seemed to work with Tiger, on both my G5 and G4 as long as journalling is turned off and you are backing up to a external hard drive, but had problems with with some tape drives. The upgrade to 6.1 is costly ($129) but works for the most part. See MacFixit threat concerning system slowdown across a network when scheduled backup is running.
