There's also the tried and true Amanda and the many MANY tools build
around using Amanda.

Never looked at that one, unfortunately. These days my full backups
tend to be accomplished with a simple dd image of the drive in
question or an rsync of the home partition.

Also, here is a slightly older article that lists several solutions:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-outstanding-linux-backup-utilities/
That lists both Amanda and Bacula (I've used Bacula in an enterprise
setting before, it's complex to set up but works quite well).
Here's a more recent and larger list as well:

From reading just a help wiki on backuppc, it looks to be more just a
front-end for rsync and tar than anything else... after just a quick
once-over it looks like someone wrote a web front-end to do things you
could just as easily do from a console, shell script and cron job. Of
course, that's after a very quick once-over, so I could have missed
some more advanced feature that makes it stand out from the many, many
other backup solutions out there.
Cheers
