I second the backuppc recommendation. I'm running it on warty. It's more 
than featureful enough for small network backups (my experience of it), 
and by reputation (ie. my reading of the backuppc mailing list) can also 
deal with much bigger scenarios.  It's easy to set up and has been 
reliable for me. The author is very active and helpful on the backuppc 
mailing list.
