It's not for backups per se, but I have used PKZIP/PKUNZIP for backing up and restoring my hard disk. With PKZIP's -r option you can have it recurse directories, and the names of those directories are stored in the ZIP file if the -p option is specified. You can either ZIP up an entire drive and then chop the ZIP into pieces small enough to fit on a floppy or ZIP up selected directories, say all those off of the root, such that no single ZIP is too big for a floppy. It's not public domain, but I've found it beats the heck out of BACKUP/RESTORE.
