For those interested;
I did some searching and found Arkeia. It originally was/is a commercial 
product, but they jumped on the bandwagon and released a stripped down 
gpl version of their backup solution: Arkeia-Light v5.2.15
There is a Debian version, so installation is seamless. I had some 
trouble initialising tapes, and I'm not sure yet if it is a software 
problem, or that it is related to my hardware set up.
It is certainly worth a look at if you are in search of a graphical 
backup solution. It is stripped of all enterprise features, but if you 
only want to save your stuff to tape, or if you are a small time 
bussiness, then this could be it.
You can find details here: http://www.arkeia.com/
