iMac/PowerMac G4? Or Laptop?

The Apple solution for Backup is bandwidth and a .Mac account
http://www.apple.com/dotmac/

You can backup to an iPod, or an external Hard Drive, or just write a  
CD or DVD with your critical stuff on it.

But it all depends what you need to backup and why.

An excellent eBook on Mac Backup is the Take Control one...

I have a copy i've been know to bring to meetings of WelMac...

Software such as Carbon Copy Cloner isgood for making copies of whole  
systems:

I personally use Retrospect - at work it's to a Backup Tape, and at  
home to an external Hard Drive via USB.. with DVDs of archived stuff  
that doesn't change.. (photos/movies/music)

Hope that gives you a quick overview...
