The answer is really WILDLY dependent upon your situation, resources and what you are backing up.
I like burp for network backup of all of my servers and platforms, but it does not provide for offline tape storage. I find combining two different packages or more complete backup coverage has a great deal to recommend it.

I have been schooled. Someone notified me that no one else knows what 'burp' is. It is a client/server backup system that is not hard to set up or understand, yet uses the rsync libs for network efficiency, does block level deduplication and in-place compression and has clients for Linux and Windows. I have used it to back up a DB server with 3T of storage, and five days of backup took about 535Meg of disk. You can google for it if you want to read more.
backup-manager is not listed.
It is simple and good: does database backups as well as files.
Combine it with rsync or scp pull for the remote operation.
