Which backup solution would you recommend?

[Bazooka Joe]

applications -> add/remove has 18 or so backup progs that have stars
that rate them when you search for backup.  I'm not trying to be a
dick but i see you aren't getting much useful info from other people.
I deal w/ backup on servers mostly and we use dump. It is a good/great
command line utility but no gui that i know of.  tar is the most
common backup method and the one i use to backup my workstation.  If
you are trying to push your backup over a network to another computer
i would look at amanda, bacula and rsync.  if you find something good
in the add/remove let us know.
