There are a number of good ready made choices (backuppc seems to be the 
most suggested so far) but you can always grow your own, it just depends 
on how "sophisticated" you want to get.  In the office I built a backup 
server and a private subnet (using a second gigE interface on each 
server) to create a backup network.  Then it was just a little scripting 
using nfs to connect and tar for the backups.  It's basic, it's simple 
and it works.

What ever you chose be sure that you can do recoveries without having to 
install the entire application again.  If the application stores data in 
a proprietary format you can be screwed when it comes time to recover.

If you don't already have it, a good read on the subject is:

Good luck!
