Can I backup applications like iPhoto? If so, how?
I don't mean the actual photo files, I mean the application/program.
I am already backing up my documents folder regularly.

Nearly all of Apple's programs are usually self-contained bundles - just copy the application and you have your backup. iPhoto should be no different. Although there are some exceptions, most of the time Mac applications can be copied simply by copying their application or application folders.

Make a backup of your iLife CD/DVDs or your Mac install CD/DVDs. That way you have a backup of the installer of your apps.

I use Apple's backup (included in their .mac package). No fuss no muss, and I backup things to a DVD

As has been said, you just burn your application folder to a cd (or external disk).
If you want also the state reproducible, go to /Users/"your user name"/Library/Preferences and store also the pref files (com.apple.iPhoto.plist).

You should also check /Library/Application Support/ and ~/Library/Application Support. Some apps leave templates, etc. in those folders.
