I recommend rdiff-backup. It does incremental backups. It is easy
to use
and has powerful statistics displaying functions. I personally use it.
It is in the repository so easy to install. There is detailed
document and
sample commands on its Website http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/
backupninja is a decent front-end for rdiff-backup and other
niceties, like things that can do backups/dumps of live mysql
databases, etc. As its readme states, it can "configure and
coordinate many different backup utilities".
It's very "server-esqe" in that you have an /etc/backup.d directory
with your various backup routines and it runs them in succession and
reports success/failure on whatever schedule you choose.
Although I've never used this piece of it, it also has a console
helper called ninjahelper to help create the configuration files...
they were simple enough that I've never needed to do that.
I've found it very useful. Hope that helps.
