So is amanda. Advance Maryland Automatic Disk Archiver. First published 
in the early 80's, still under development as its tools change, been 
using it since the late 90's myself, about 21 years now. Its backup 
strategy is to use about the same amount of media on a daily run. Give 
it a 7 day "backup cycle" and it will in time scatter the level 0 
backups around, doing level 1's or level 2's in between times, until its 
using say 35GB a night. This lends itself to efficient filling of a 
tape, if using tapes, yet with my wrapper, it can restore at 6am if need 
be, to the exact state that existed at 3am when it was finished with 
last nights run. I'm using virtual tapes on a separate big drive, 
currently a 2T. Backing up my local 5 machine network, this machine and 
4 cnc conversions I've done so far, worrying about a backup of the 
latest config changes as I bring a new machine into service has yet to 
cost me any sleep. One just has to get rid of a "main backup on fridays" 
mindset. It will be done and its got everything that existed at 3am when 
it last ran. Amanda keeps records, better records than most IMO.  And 
gives you a good nights sleep too.

curty@einstein:~$ apt-cache search ninja
backupninja - lightweight, extensible meta-backup system


curty@einstein:~$ apt-cache show backupninja

 Backupninja is a silent flower blossom death strike to lost data.

Okay.

Borg integrates nicely as a method for ninjabackup. I recommend
them.

I was looking recently for a backup solution and did review few of them. I
choose borg. I then asked a friend working as system administrator and he
told me he is using also borg. I now also use borg. Looking at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_backup_software - it seems they
are similar from feature POV.

hope this helps
