It appears to have been dropped after 16.04:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/sbackup

According to this bug report, it was dropped from Ubuntu because it
uses gksu, which has been deprecated:

The details page for the sbackup package is here:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/sbackup-gtk

You could reach out to the maintainers if you have any questions.
There's also a list of similar packages in the bottom right of that
page in case you want to try some of them out.

There's a download link on the package's detail page above. It will
give you a .deb file you can install. That .deb file might not work,
though, for the reason mentioned above. The bug report above gives a
work-around that should work.
