DejaDup is quite good in all the areas u mentioned, I use it at home for doing daily incremental and monthly full backups to our NAS.
SimpleBackup is also pretty good.

I'm way bad -- it's been ages since I've backed up my machine, and my it's gotten big in there! I'm backing up now just by copying to CD -- but those CD's have gotten awfully small now that customers are sending me multiple 100-MB files of data. Ubuntu has a bunch of backup options; I'd like to choose one that does what I need without having so many cool options that I spend a year experimenting with all the wrong ways to do it before I hit on the one that actually works. What is your preferred backup system? I'd like something that supports a scheme that lets me do a monthly complete backup with daily incrementals. I'd like to be able to tag certain directories as "don't back up". Something that could backup to a remote disk would be nice, but not essential. Automatic backup, at least for the incrementals, would be especially nice, as I'm absent minded. Also nice would be something that lets me plug a big USB disk into the cruddy old laptop that I'm using as a server (stupid, I know -- I'll replace it when it dies). I'm thinking that one way or another I want to use a two- or three-disk backup system, so that if any one of them dies I'll be left with a fairly recent image of my computer.
