Bob, I also did SCO Xenix and Unix servers for years. BackupEdge (formerly C-TAR) was the backup tool of choice. I used it for years almost identically to what you described. The nice bit -- when you need to do a full system restore you simply boot the recovery disks, answer a few prompts about disk space (if necessary, like if using a new drive), then load the master backup and the last incremental backup. Once that is done you have a 100% recovered system.
Also, every bit of what BackupEdge does can also be done from the command line. The screen interface is nice, but not mandatory. Unfortunately, I no longer use BackupEdge. My current environment allows me to backup to another server. But, if I needed a backup tool and was serious about it, I'd buy BackupEdge in a heartbeat.
