Why does it need to be graphical...?

I used to have a homegrown tar script, but I've switched to AMANDA and I
like it. It's a bit daunting to set up, but it works perfectly now, and
uses the tape host's native backup tools like dump or ufsdump -- no
proprietary tape formats here. There is an interactive FTP-like restore
client, too.
