I have been doing backup to an external usb hdd using Grsync,
http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/.  
It is a simple gui for rsync.  Before that i was using just rsync, but
that gets old and using the gui beats remmembering all those parameters.
i jyst created a job and use it when ever I feel like doing backup.  
If i ever to restore it, and it has happened I just reverse the job and
presto! back in business.  i even had to redo my Kubuntu install once
and, once that was done, i just reinstalled grsync and restored my home
directory with one simple click.  It was quiet easy.
