Not what I was looking for. I don’t want to install mail server stuff etc., I just need a simple backup solution for GNU/Linux to backup my files and folders to a different directory, external drive or FTP server.

This backup package isn't the quickest, easiest thing to set up, but once it is running, it provides a VERY robust set of backup services that will accumulate backups for multiple machines over a network, on a schedule. It will manage incremental, differential, and full backups and can be configured and managed using Webmin. It is worth the effort of getting past the learning curve to get it working.

Sure I can admit that. But have to add, that if you have less than (say) 10 clients to backup, it's not worth the learn. To understand and correctly setup this solution needs months to master.
