I wonder if anyone can recommend a good backup utility for FreeBSD.
If it's in the ports, great. I would like to just specify which 
directories I would like to backup, how often and have it tar or zip 
the files into a directory - if it has off-site ftp, fine, but I can
do that part myself via crontab.

I realize I could just make a script file with some tar commands,
but I'm looking for something that is quicker to maintain and 
allows me to organize what I'm backing up.

I have been using reoback but recently I ran into some problems
with is duplicating files X 10! - I looked into to solving it but
it might be easier to just try something else.
