Regular and incremental backups? Sounds like the perfect job for
cronjob + rsync. Both come in a default Hoary install if I recall
correctly.. Unfortunately, no GUI is available. You'll have to search
the internet a bit to find some scripts or tutorials to get it to
work. But when you get it to work, it'll do its job perfectly :-).
