I've been using BackupPC for years. I currently have it running on a small CentOS system that mainly does backups.
I like it because it's agentless ( it uses ssh/rsync ). The Pooling and Data-deduping is also nice, and saves on space.
+1 to backuppc.
A word of caution - database backups should be done with their respective native tools. A colleague, was backing up /var/lib/mysql/ thinking he could restore the db from the backup!
