Hi Debian users :)

Codename: jessie
As the title say i'm in search for a backup application/system.
Currently i manage my backups with a little script that i wrote... but
it does not really serve my needs anymore.
I want to be able to make backups on my main PC and also on my server,
the backups i would then store on my NAS.
Make a long story short:
Have you guys a recommendation for me?
Is there a specific application you use for your backups guys?
Btw: I dont mind configuring or playing around with new applications,
every recommendation is welcome ;)
Here is my current backup script (Which is run by cron daily):
#!/bin/bash
TO_BACKUP="/home /etc /var/log"
BACKUP_DIR="/var/backup"
BACKUP_ARCHIVE="backup-`date +%d_%m_%Y-%H:%M`.tar"
TAR_OPTIONS='-cpf'
delete_old_backup() {
if [ -f ${BACKUP_DIR}/backup*.tar ]; then
rm -rf $BACKUP_DIR/backup*
fi
}
create_new_backup() {
tar $TAR_OPTIONS ${BACKUP_DIR}/$BACKUP_ARCHIVE $TO_BACKUP
}
main() {
delete_old_backup
create_new_backup
}
main
