What, and how much, are you trying to back up? What storage device will you
be backing up to (tape, dvd, disk)?
There are several projects out there: amanda (my personal favorite), bacula,
backuppc, and I'm sure a few others. More details on your expected usage can
help folks point you in the better direction.
