I use 'tob', a rather powerful bash script, since 1994 and have it almost
ready as a debian package, ie it's a package but it's not released yet as I
am waiting for the author to make some changes. I could give you the package
if you wish. Here's the dpkg -s output:

Package: tob
Status: install ok installed
Section: misc
Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@qed.econ.queensu.ca>
Version: 0.13-0
Recommends: afio, ftape
Description: Tape Oriented Backup program.
 tob is a simple yet configurable shell-script which, given a set of `volume
 definitions', runs tar or afio based backups. tob is a general driver for
 the making and maintaining of backups. It makes full backups, differential
 backups (of the files which were changed since the last full backup), lets
 you determine the size of the backup before actually making it, maintain
 listings of made backups, make remote backups etc..
