A site owner wants to backup their content themselves to feel more confident about their data in the SharePoint site as well as control the frequency of those backups.
Is there a tool that will allow a normal user with no more permission than Full Control on a site to complete a backup of that site's content? Lists and libraries mostly, but permissions wouldn't hurt.

You have limited options for this scenerio.
SharePoint Designer will allow you backup your sites, but you'll run into issues with sites larger than 25MB. There are work arounds posted on the web, but it's still not a great option for larger sites.
For individual lists / libraries you could create templates and select to keep the content but there are size limitaitons here as well that may give you problems.
Take a look at the Colligo tools, they may provide something that will work for you and they are fairly inexpensive. http://www.colligo.com/products/sharepoint/
If you really need to get it done, then it would be possible for you to create a custom process that can run with elevated privileges to complete the job on demand or via a scheduler.
In most environments though that should not be needed if there is adequate Backup and Recovery practices in place that can be successfully demonstrated.
