I'm using `tob' after looking into several options including afbackup.
I guess it depends a lot on your needs. For mine afbackup seemed like
overkill. I only need to backup user data on a small group server, 10
or so users.
The nice thing with tob is that you can make full, differential (all
changes since last full backup) and incremental (all changes since
last backup of any type).
