[ale] Linux GUI or CLI backup tool

[Lightner, Jeff]

You can look at Unison for a tool that utilizes rsync stuff via a GUI. 

Bacula is a backup software for open source backups.

Haven't used either of those myself but see a lot of mention of them when these kind of questions come up in other forums.

Jungle Disk or Spider Oak are good ones. If you want to have it off site.
