KBackup is a backup program for UNIX machines. It supports any OS supported tape drive. It can use tar or afio to create the archives. It can even compress using gzip. It supports include lists, exclude lists, and even backing up to a file.
From Karsten's Home Page:
Probably one of the more useful things that I have ever written is KBackup, a universal, easy to use backup package for UNIX. Among its many features are:
# user friendly, menu driven interface and command line interface for inclusion in automated scripts
# high reliability, thanks to using long established tools like afio or tar
# automated unattended backups
# full or incremental backups
# support for tape drives, floppies or removable media, remote backup across networks
# support for compression, encryption and double buffering
# high portability -- it is a modular shell script
# extensive documentation
