Great as it is, Openfiler is pretty much a single-purpose "appliance", and as an Rpath-based distro (similar to RHEL) its packages are very out of date and most people aren't Conary package-management wizards.
Grml includes BackupPC 3.2.0-1.1 and in general Grml tends to ship more recent releases of packages; the core is based on Debian with the more familiar apt-get pm system and a huge range of package choices that offers. Grml is a great LiveCD for doing sysadmin maintenance stuff; I like it even better than SystemRescueCD myself.
