Backus
Backup is a very small tool I wrote a couple of years. It is intended to be used to backup the directories of your choice, either in full or incremental mode, in the directory of your choice.
Concretly, I backup my own server since 2000 with Backus on a dedicated disk with a single big partition. This does not save me from a fire, neither from a nasty cracker getting administrator status erasing everything, but it has already saved me from bad file manipulation, wrong deletions or when the home directory disk died.
It is as simple as made of two simple shell scripts. Archives are stored in a specific directory tree, using GNU Tar and GNU Zip.
There is no restore system. If you need to restore a set of files, you have (compressed) indexes produced by tar to find where versions of your files are, so that you can untar the corresponding archives.
I publish Backus in case someone finds it useful.
