Ahh, I was going to recommend Denis Corbin's DAR.

What are your other requirements?  I was looking for a backup program too, but
I found they generally fell into three groups.  The first were more complex
systems like Bacula which were really for the "enterprise".  The second were
just front ends to CLI tools, which I kind of think you may as well use the
tool directly, and the third were command line tools like BORG.

Do you have many directories to backup?  What sort of backup schedule?  Do you
need differential/incremental backups?
