I use BackupPc. Easy to use, compression, hard linking of unchanged 
files => long history on smaller space, easy recovery of individual 
files (directly on the server or through tar/zip files), direct access 
to any archived file through archive browser.... real-life tested (both 
at home and at work)!!!

Possibility to dump to external support like DVD or tape, though I never 
tested that part. (I know I should have as real backup should always be 
AS EXTERNAL AS POSSIBLE)
