Backup software



I am looking for dependable backup software that handles both full and
incremental backups. I need to beable to do occassional network backups of
single machines for maintenance purposes. The backup device is a Seagate 4G
IDE Tape drive.
I am running RH 7.0 with a 2.22.17 kernel, I'm guessing as it is not the
kernel that came with the distro.

I had been testing Taper6.9b-3 for this purpose and it had been working
fine, but then I upgraded some of my libraries and tools via the Ximian
update service and now Taper segfaults when doing Inc. backups. It claims a
write error either to the info file or to the tape. It also segfaults when I
try to use its interactive help screen.

If it isn't free is there something commercial under $100.00 out there?
