I've recently set up a new server, and needed a quick backup solution. I made my own shell scripts that do exactly what I need (collect file, dump databases, encrypt file, transfer them), and put them on github in case it can help anyone.
However, there is certainly an easy to configure tool out there to set up backups. Any advice?
How do Amanda, Bacula and other similar tools do these days?

rsnapshot is all you need in a pure *n?x environment.
rsync + versioning + ssh custom scripts
What more do you need :)
www.rsnapshot.org
I've been using Bacula for quite some time. It's not that eassy to configure (it requires a DB, two server daemons and one daemon on each client), but it's worth it.
I've got it set up to do incremental backups every night and full backups every month. It also supports encrypted backups but I haven't bothered to set that up yet.
I use dirvish to backup to an external disk (same functionality as rsnapshot).
Additionally I use s3sync to backup to Amazon S3 as an offsite backup which is rather cheap (I pay 2 EUR per month for about 8 GB).
there's also backuppc http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
