Ben,

You might want to consider 'SimpleBackup'
(http://migas.mine.nu/index.php?pag=en.myapps&subpag=simplebackup).
Although it does not have a GUI interface, it is actually quite simple
to use. It supports full, incremental and differential backups. I use
it to backup to a cheap  file server on my local home network.  -Note:
The latest stable release does not support backing up to tape (future
release).-

Hope this helps.
