[opensuse] Suggestions for backup software?



I would be grateful for advice about backup software appropriate for my
situation, and for remarks people using such utilities, including what to
avoid. I can see that there are several packages available through YaST,
but it would be helpful to know what others think about them and about
relative advantages.

I have only one Linux system here, so network capability is not important.
I do not have a tape drive, but would be read carefully any remarks about
whether I need one. If not, then it would have to be something capable of
bridging DVDs for a total backup, and probably CDs for incremental
backup.
