I've mentioned it before but my favorite is still backuppc from
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

It uses a clever scheme of compression and links to minimize
the space needed for online backups and has a nice web interface
to browse through and restore them.  It is about as easy as it
gets for the common case of needing a file or directory from
a few days back and with a bootable CD like knoppix or the
rescue mode of the fedora install disk and a little work you
can do a bare-metal restore.  For the latter you have to
ssh the command line to the backup server to send the tar
image you want and pipe it to a local tar restore command.
It's especially good if you have several servers and/or a
mix of Linux and windows to back up because it does them
all automatically and gives you a single place to control them
and do restores.
