I have a list of about 30 backup programs for OS X.  Let me know if you 
want it.

Everyone has their favorite.  Your choice depends on what sort of backup 
you are looking to do, what sort of media you will be backing up to, how 
much you want to spend, how much handholding you need, etc.

This backup program has recently been very popular:

SuperDuper $20

SuperDuper is dead easy to use, it creates bootable clones, it can do 
incremental backups and automatically delete old files, and it can do 
unattended scheduled backups.

If you want free:

Carbon Copy Cloner (donation requested)
