Another hint: SuSE (and other distributions?) comes with a console
program named "taper". It's a simple tool, but it does its job.
You can run it interactively to define directories and/or
individual files to include in/exclude from backup and it has
a batch mode to do regular (e.g. nightly) backups. 

Regarding tape technologies: I would opt for DAT drives. Even 
if speed is not your major concern, there are times when you
are glad to have a fast tape (when it comes to restore...). 

I use the DAT in my main workstation to backup this machines
/home, /etc and a few others, plus some directories on the
gateway machine mounted via NFS (and even the laptop, mounted
via Samba <g>).
