I recommend the old way of tar
Tar has been around for a long time and just basically works.  Your can set
it up to run in the background at night
and which nights of the week you want to run.

tar cvf /dev/st0 /*    will backup complete system to scsi dat tape drive
tar xvf /dev/st0    will restore
This is not gui, but it will run with no one logged in.
