Backup Manager is a command line backup tool for GNU/Linux, designed to help 
you make daily archives of your file system.

Written in bash and perl, it can make archives in many formats and can be run 
in a parallel mode with different configuration files.

Archives are kept for a given number of days and the upload system can use ftp 
or scp to transfer the generated archives to a list of remote hosts. 

The configuration file is very simple and basic and gettext is used for 
internationalization.
