If you're looking for a long term alternative to squats than no, there are no substitutes.
If you just want some leg exercises to do until your back is good enough to squat again, don't worry about it. Your time would be better spent rehab'ing your back, mobility work and strengthening your core. This way you can squat to depth in the future without compromising your lower back.
I hurt my back a couple weeks ago too and all I've been doing is a lot of stretching and some body weight squats to work on technique.
