Another option for back-up is backintime. It's a rdiff based backup solution which creates Apple's Time Machine style backups.

It's and extremely efficient and sophisticated tool. Can work over network if desired. Can do backup merging, can store n revisions in multiple ways, can keep disk from completely filling up, use nice and ionice, etc.

Another nice feature is its profiles. I have some profiles with different settings with different source folders. Hence I got my backups the way I want.

It can work with or without the GUI, so it's worth checking up.
